CARE, MAINTENANCE, and CLEANING INSTRUCTION
for PLUNGERS, CYLINDERS, and HOPPERS
The plungers and hoppers of your donut machine are precision instruments built from alloy steels and
aluminum. They should be handled with care to insure continued satisfactory performance.
When cleaning aluminum, selection of the right type cleaner is your most important consideration. Any
household dish washing detergent which is safe for aluminum does a good job of cleaning and does not
attack aluminum. Strong Alkali cleaners, such as lye, soda ash, and tri-sodium phosphate, will discolor or
even corrode aluminum even in weak solutions.
DO NOT Handle roughly or drop on hard surfaces.
DO NOT Mix with other utensils in the sink when washing.
DO NOT Allow to rust. Always wash parts thoroughly. Dry completely and then lubricate with mineral oil
or
liquid shortening before storing or reinstalling in unit.
DO NOT Force the machine if it becomes jammed. Disassemble and remove any obstruction to prevent
damage to the plunger.
Washing Plungers, Cylinders, and Hoppers by Hand:
1. Remove “O” Rings, if so equipped.
2. Use plenty of warm water.
3. Add cleaner approved for aluminum in concentrations recommended by manufacturer.
4. Presoak to loosen stubborn or dried-on deposits.
5. Use a non-scratching plastic scour cloth to remove soil and restore luster.
6. Rinse in clear hot water (170-190
F)
7. Wipe completely dry.
8. Dip plungers in mineral oil or liquid shortening to prevent rust and sticking.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CARE OF FRENCH PLUNGERS:
The French plunger must be handled with great care. Before each use, put one drop of mineral oil on each of the
gibs that slide in the grooves near the top of the plunger. After each use, unscrew the lower piston and remove the
product former. Thoroughly wash and dry and then oil the parts with mineral oil or liquid shortening to prevent
sticking. Reassemble the plunger. Be certain that the bottom piston is threaded into place completely.
