Cleaning & Sanitizing

⚠ WARNING

• Before cleaning, servicing, or removing any parts, always turn the immersion blender OFF and unplug the unit.
• Never attempt to clean the immersion blender while it is in operation.

⚠ CAUTION

• Do not place the immersion blender in the dishwasher or immerse it in water.
• Dilute detergent per supplier's instructions. Products containing sodium hypochlorite should not be used on the immersion blender.
• Do not hose down, pressure wash, or pour water on the immersion blender.
• Never use a scrubber pad, steel wool, or abrasive material to clean the immersion blender.

To prevent illness or death from foodborne pathogens, it is important to properly clean and sanitize the entire immersion blender, as any surface can become contaminated. The owner/operator must follow all guidelines, instructions, and laws from local/state health departments and chemical sanitizer manufacturers. The entire unit, including removable parts, must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after contact with food products, repeating this process at least every 4 hours, and complying with local health department laws.

It is extremely important to properly sanitize all food contact surfaces and follow instructions on your quaternary sanitizer container to kill potentially harmful bacteria.

IMPORTANT: If using a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine, or quaternary ammonium, it must be applied according to EPA-registered label instructions. Excessive sanitizer or products not formulated for stainless steel/aluminum can void your warranty. Sanitizer concentration must comply with FDA Food Code section 4-501.114.
