VIII. SANITATION INSTRUCTIONS
Be certain the machine is turned off and power is unplugged before sanitizing this
machine unless a specific cleaning procedure requires power to the machine. Failure
to do so could result in injury or death.
Do not clean heated surfaces until they have been given sufficient time to cool. Failure
to do so may result in serious burns or scalds.
The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily with warm water. When cleaning, do not fill the
mixer with water more than two inches below the top of the mixer blades. The mixer heat may be
used to heat the cleaning water. With the top on, allow the water to steam. This will clean the
inside of the mixer kettle.
CAUTION: Do not boil the kettle dry. This will only make the cleanup more difficult.
Running the mixer blades after adding the water will speed up the cleaning operation. In the
event any carbon has formed on the pan bottom, it may be easily removed by using C.K.C powder
as directed.
The agitator blade can and should be removed and cleaned regularly. This is done by removing
the one (or two) square head bolts holding the cap on. There is a key welded to the cap which
aligns with the keyway on the shaft. Remove the bolt then lift the cap off. The blade can then be
pulled straight up and off the hub.
Clean all parts thoroughly. Do not use any harsh abrasives or cleaning material. Pay particular
attention to the interior of the blade center. Some times sugar will carbonize and/or build up on
the interior of the blade center and create a tight fit on the pan center. (Normal clearance is 1/8" --
3 mm). When this happens, syrup or water can 'wick-up' the narrow gap and leak down the
clutch dog shaft and give the appearance that the kettle is leaking.
Clean the blade and under the blade, then replace the blade and align the blade keyway with the
shaft keyway. Put the cap back on aligning the key with the keyway.
This manual is filled with time-saving and money-saving information regarding your Cretors
machine. There is nothing, however, more important than the safety aids and warnings found
throughout this document.
