How to Use and Clean

To assure that you will enjoy your sprayer for many years to come, keep the following points in mind:

  • adjust the nozzle to stream or spray option depending on your application
  • fill tank and close properly to avoid losing air pressure
  • pump up to adequate pressure level.
  • clean before storage especially when liquids containing sugars were used.

What to spray?

The Chef Sprayer will spray low viscosity liquids when properly pressurized and cleaned. (ie: water, milk, wine, vinegar, beer, (no pulp) juices, cider, coffee, tea, etc)

What not to spray?

Heavy, thick sauces such as BBQ sauces containing honey, sugar, molasses, syrups, etc can only be applied with a stream. Do not use mustard seeds, pepper flakes, garlic cloves, fennel seeds, etc. in the sprayer as these food particles will block the flow.


Cleaning:

Rinse tank and fill with clean water.

Spray out half the tank and then add a couple drops of detergent to the remaining water. Shake the pump vigorously and spray out the water containing the detergent. Rinse tank again and refill with 1/2 a tank of clean water for final spray. Dry the tank properly before attaching the pump for storage.

Unscrew the spray cap and clean the cap and spray tip.
