Maintenance

➢ All surfaces that come in contact with food must be easily

accessible for cleaning and inspection.

➢ If the equipment needs to be dismantled for cleaning and

disinfection, it should be designed and constructed in a way

that it can be dismantled easily, preferably without using
any tools.

➢ This includes machinery guards, catch pans, scrapers, and

side panels.

➢ If any tools are necessary for safety reasons, they should be

standard instruments like screwdrivers.

➢ Enough space should be provided between surface

junctions to facilitate easy access for cleaning.
