Cleaning
After each feeding: Flush cold water through the slit in the teat
to remove as much feed as possible. (Do not turn the teat
inside out or push brushes, etc. through the slit.) Take the
feeder apart, making sure that the valve membrane is separated
from the disc. Wash all the parts in warm soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly with cold water.
Each day: All disassembled parts of the feeder should be
sanitized by boiling, preferably in distilled water, for 20 minutes.
If hard water deposits occur use distilled water or occasionally
boil in a mixture of 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar. Parts can
be autoclaved to a maximum of 272˚F for 3 minutes at 29 PSIG
or 250˚F for 15 minutes at 15 PSIG. To avoid damage during
sterilization, sterilize parts without applying external pressure
on parts.
