Maintenance Tips
-
Clean & Sanitize After Each Use – Disassemble removable parts (barrel lid, stuffing tubes) and wash all food contact surfaces thoroughly with warm water and a food-safe cleaner to prevent contamination and buildup.
-
Dry & Inspect Components – Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly to avoid corrosion. Check gaskets, seals, and moving parts for wear or damage regularly.
-
Hydraulic & Moving Parts Care – Follow manufacturer guidelines for checking hydraulic oil levels and lubricating recommended joints or piston components to maintain smooth, consistent pressure and extend motor life.
-
Safe Operation Practices – Lower the piston before cleaning, lock wheels to prevent roll, and avoid forcing the machine beyond its capacity; this protects internal components.
-
Proper Storage – Store in a clean, dry area when not in use to prevent rust and ensure hygiene, particularly important for commercial kitchens
