3.2 CLEANING THE PROBE
The maintenance of the blast chiller must include at least one daily cleaning of the temperature core probe.
3.3 CLEANING THE CONDENSER UNIT
All the cleaning operations must be carried out when the unit is off, taking off the electric tension from
both the device and the condensing unit. Only qualified staff shall carry out the cleaning operations.
For the cleaning and maintenance of the parts made of stainless steel, follow the below recommendations,
considering that the first and basic rule is to guarantee the no-toxicity and the maximum hygiene of the treated
products. The stainless steel has a fine layer of oxide that prevents the making of rust. There are detergents that
can destroy or corrode that layer, originating therefore corrosions.
