Now more than ever, hygiene is at the forefront of our minds. From sanitising stations to strict cleaning regimes, businesses are doing everything in their control to promote hygiene and entice customers back.
Warewash machines are no different. Take a look at our 3 simple steps to eliminate bacteria in your machine and ensure dishes are spotless.
1. Schedule a cleaning regime
We recommend a daily and weekly cleaning regime but don’t worry – it’s not as daunting as it sounds.
Daily
1. Give your machine a quick check over
This should include:
- Checking the free rotation of wash arms
- Check the filters and strainers and remove any food debris
- Check and clean the door seals
2. Refill regularly
Refilling your HOBART dishwasher with clean water is essential for an effective, hygienic clean.
Mark Whitmarsh, Technical Operations Manager for HOBART Service explains,
“Simply put: Clean water = clean plates!
“To get the best performance from your HOBART dishwasher, we recommend draining the machine as frequently as possible. In an ideal situation, the operator should drain the machine following each sitting, this will help optimise the machine’s performance, reduce breakdowns and downtime and keep your machine hygienic and free from bacteria.”
Monthly
Deep clean your dishwasher monthly – see step 3 with instructions on how to effectively give your machine the required deep clean.
2. Use a good quality warewash detergent
Using good quality warewash chemicals is critical for the overall wash results and functionality of your dishwasher.
Hyline Detergent and Rinse Aid has been designed specifically for HOBART machines. Hyline detergent combines years of warewash technology into an all-in-one solution, suitable for the entire warewash range, from small glasswashers to large flight and rack conveyor dishwashers.
Hyline detergent requires a 2ml dosage per wash in comparison to most brands which require 6ml – this makes Hyline the more affordable and longer lasting option.
Finally, make sure you’re stocked up on dishwasher detergent – you can order direct from us at: shop.hobartuk.com
3. Deep clean your dishwasher regularly
Deep cleaning your dishwasher is easy with a HOBART. Most machines will notify you when the Hygiene Cycle is required (if not, we recommend running the cycle once a month), use our specially formulated Hygiene Tablets to optimise functionality and kill any harmful bacteria within the machine.
The Hygiene Cycle will have your dishwasher looking and smelling fresh in just 15 minutes.
Follow the step-by-step video guide to help you give your dishwasher the essential deep clean it needs to keep running smoothly – and hygienically!
