PG. 12 #8401 QC-100 INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
3.1 INTRODUCTION
To insure trouble free operation and the highest level of sanitation control, periodic cleaning and
maintenance is required. The maintenance system should be aimed at maximizing the efficient
utilization of maintenance personnel, minimizing down time, and providing the orderly acquisition
of spare parts for support. If already established at the location site, perform scheduled
maintenance in accordance with the standards in the Maintenance Index Plan.
The Alto-Shaam® Quickchiller should be cleaned and sanitized a minimum of once a week.
Good equipment that is kept clean works better and lasts longer. Protect your investment.
Always follow appropriate state or local health (hygiene) regulations regarding all applicable cleaning and
sanitation requirements for equipment.

with a cleaning cloth or small hand broom.
