Sephra Commercial Fountain - Manual (Page 11)

6) Full Cleaning Procedure
a) Recommended Cleaning Supplies
i) Dawn Soap or Palmolive Original Dish Soap
ii) Extra large grouting sponge (7.5” x 5.5” x 2”) – Model: 70005-144
iii) Paper
towels
iv) Disposable food handling gloves
b) In preparation for a full cleaning of your chocolate fountain keep the amount of chocolate
in the fountain at a minimum to avoid unnecessary waste. This is accomplished by
reducing the amount of chocolate you are filling the fountain with the evening before.
Your fountain will operate with a minimum amount of chocolate. Please see table 3(a) on
page 4 for minimum and maximum chocolate levels.
c) Line your cleaning bin with a bin liner or plastic trash bag and place the bin next to the
chocolate fountain you will be cleaning.
d) Turn the fountain to the “Pre-Heat” setting and adjust the temperature to 140
°F or turn the
dial to 5.
e) Using a spatula, start at the top and scrape the excess chocolate from each tier. See the
before (Photo 5.5) and after (Photo 5.6) pictures.
f) Once all of the excess chocolate has been removed, slide each of the tiers up and off of
the cylinder, placing each tier into the lined bin to prevent chocolate drips..
g) Take the bin containing the tiers to your sink.
h) Rinse each tier with hot water only in the sink as cold water will cause the chocolate to
harden immediately. Using the recommended Dawn or Palmolive Soap with the Sponge
to wipe the chocolate off will expedite the cleaning process.
i) Dry the tiers using a paper towel and ensure that no residual paper towel remains Dry
each tier completely as excess water will thicken the chocolate and reduce the
performance of the fountain. Once the tiers are clean and dry be sure to store them in a
clean, dry area. Take the bagged bin back to the chocolate fountain to collect the
cylinder, auger, stabilizer, and bowl.
j)
Hold the auger by the knob (found at the top) and slide the auger out of the cylinder for
cleaning. (See Photos 5.7 & 5.8)
k) When removing the auger, hold it over the bowl of the fountain so that the excess
chocolate drips into the chocolate fountain bowl. (See Photo 5.9)
l) There are several ways to clean the excess chocolate off the auger before transport to
the sink or cleaning area. A spatula may be used or a few paper towels can be bunched
together and twisted down the auger to remove excess chocolate. Disposable gloves
should be worn throughout the cleaning process. (See Photos 5.9 & 5.10)
m) When the auger is mostly clean place the cylinder and auger into the bagged bin.
n) To clean a fixed basin chocolate fountain proceed to step: r.
o) To clean a removable bowl fountain:
i) Do not lean a removable bowl chocolate fountain on its side to clean the bowl. You
may cause damage to the adjustable or decorative feet.
ii) Have a waste bin lined with a plastic bag ready to receive the excess chocolate for
disposal. Unscrew the bowl from the basin by twisting the bowl counter-clockwise.
iii) Once the bowl has been removed, dispose of the chocolate by pouring it into the
lined waste bin. Use a spatula to remove as much chocolate as possible.
