The first step to cleaning is to remove any hand-removable parts and place in sink or aside for cleaning and sanitizing
separately.
All remaining produce should be hosed o and removed. Avoid spraying water directly at any motors and controls.
After all easily-removable debris has been cleaned o, we recommend using a cleanser that will help break down and
remaining particles. “Master Kleen” can be purchased through our customer service, or any similar products can be
used. For information on the chemical makeup of “Master Kleen” please contact Goodnature Products customer service
(716)-855- 3325.
Mix up the cleanser solution as described in the instructions enclosed with the cleanser using hot water. Wash down all
surfaces produce has come into contact with.
All removed parts can be washed and sanitized by hand in a sink or soaked if desired.
