What should be Noted During the Routine Maintenance and Cleaning of Soft Ice Machines?

The key points for daily maintenance and cleaning of soft ice machines are as follows:

1. Safety Preparations Before Cleaning

Emptying Materials: Empty all remaining materials from the machine beforehand. If any residue remains, disconnect the power and let it stand for 30 minutes to melt.

Power Off Operation: Turn off the power to the entire machine and remove any detachable parts such as the expansion tube to prevent accidental start-up and potential safety hazards.

2. Key Points of Cleaning Operation

Circulation Rinsing: Add an appropriate amount of food-grade detergent or compliant disinfectant. Start the cleaning mode and run for several minutes to drain the waste liquid. Then rinse repeatedly with clean water 3-4 times to avoid chemical residue.

Component Inspection: After cleaning the core components, pay special attention to checking the agitator seal for damage. Apply compliant food-grade petroleum jelly to parts requiring lubrication.

Installation Specifications: Reinstall all components in the correct order. Do not overtighten screws to avoid deformation or damage to components.

3. Subsequent Use and Long-Term Maintenance

Pre-rinse Operation: Before restarting, rinse with clean water for 5 minutes, ensuring the water is completely drained before pouring in the ice cream mixture.

Regular Deep Maintenance: For commercial use, it is recommended to perform a full deep disassembly and cleaning every 3 months to prevent scale and bacteria buildup from affecting product safety.
