CLEANING & SANITIZING
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:
• NEVER attempt to clean the grinder while the grinder is installed.
• COMPONENTS ARE IMMERSIBLE AND DISH WASHER SAFE.
• Dilute detergent per supplier’s instruction. Products containing sodium
hypochlorite should not be used on the meat grinder.
• NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool, or abrasive material to clean the meat grinder.
To prevent illness or death caused by the spread of food-borne pathogens, it is important to
properly clean and sanitize the entire meat grinder as any surface of the chopper can become
contaminated. It is the responsibility of the meat grinder owner/operator to follow all guidelines,
instructions and laws as established by your local and state health departments and the
manufacturers of chemical sanitizers.
Once your meat grinder makes contact with food product, the entire meat grinder, including
removable parts, must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. This process is to be repeated at least
every 4 hours using these procedures and information; and must comply with additional laws from
your state and local health departments.
As with all food contact surfaces, it is extremely important to properly sanitize the entire chopper and to
closely follow the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer container to ensure proper sanitation
is achieved to kill potentially harmful bacteria.
IMPORTANT: If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine or quaternary ammonium is used, it shall be
applied in accordance with the EPA-registered label use instructions. Excessive amounts of sanitizer and use
of products not formulated for stainless steel or aluminum may VOID your warranty.
Sanitizer concentration shall comply with section 4-501.114, Manual and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment,
Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH, Concentration, and Hardness of the FDA Food Code.

• NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool, or abrasive material to clean the meat grinder.
• It is extremely important to follow the instructions on the sanitizer container to make sure
proper sanitation is achieved. Allow the parts to air dry before placing them back on the mixer!
