d. Put the components into disinfecting solution to clean,check the beater, gasket for beater, O-ring for dispenser door, supporting sleeve and O-ring for piston, if they are worn oldly, they should be replaced;
e. After cleaning, lubricate the parts with vaseline, then install the parts according to the method of taking apart.

TRUFROST and BUTLER 2 Plus 1 Twin Twist Soft Serve Machine - Figure 4

Notice : Before installing the piston, O-ring for piston, beater and gasket for beater, you should lubricate vaseline (lubricating vaseline onto the groove of the gasket, do not onto the beater’s end ), using the vaseline frequently can extend the service life of
components.
B. Cleaning Machine Cabinet
Keep the machine cabinet clean, use wet towel to clean the cabinet, and do not flush the machine with water directly.
C. Cleaning Condenser
After be used over a period of time, the condenser maybe thick with dust, and this will effect radiate heat and cause refrigeration difference, so it needs periodic cleaning (every half year)
Cleaning methods:
Step 1: Disconnected the main power switch.
Step 2: Remove the back panel and side panels.
Step 3: Clean dust with tools such as vacuum cleaner, high-pressure air and hairbrush, be careful while cleaning to avoid damaging the fins of the condenser.
D. Belt Adjustment
After be used over a period of time, the belt of the machine maybe elongated, so it needs to be adjusted. Disconnected the main power of the machine, remove the back panel and side panels, adjust the tension bolt and make sure the belt is in appropriate tension.
