Good sanitation practice demands that all food preparation equipment be cleaned regularly (only
use non-toxic, food grade cleaners). A clean looking, well-kept machine is one of the best ways of
advertising your product.
Note: It is extremely important to follow all of the cleaning procedures, otherwise
parts damage and equipment failure will result. The warranty does not cover
parts that are damaged due to improper cleaning.
