When cleaning stationary restaurant equipment, what steps should you take when cleaning removable parts?
  1. Clean around the parts as well as possible and wait to remove the parts until the restaurant conducts a “deep cleaning” of the facilities.
  2. Remove the parts and wash, rinse, and sanitize them by hand before replacing them on the fully cleaned and sanitized machine.
  3. Remove the parts and run them through a machine washer for sanitization after wiping them down with clean water.
  4. Remove the parts while cleaning the rest of the machine and wipe them down with clean water before replacing them on the machine before cleaning the rest of the surfaces.
Explanation
Answer: B - When cleaning stationary restaurant equipment, you should remove the parts and wash, rinse, and sanitize them by hand before replacing them on the fully cleaned and sanitized machine. When handling removable parts such as the nozzles of a soda-dispensing machine, they should be removed and cleaned separately to ensure a thorough cleaning of both the parts and the main unit. They should only be replaced after cleaning and sanitizing the main body to which they attach. This should be done every day to reduce any risk of bacteria growth.
