Read the manufacturer's current instructions before you put a cream-charging setup together. Make sure the cylinder, the regulator, the connector and the siphon are all listed as compatible with one another.
Check the parts before you use them. Do not use anything that looks damaged, has been changed, or is not connected the right way. Follow what the manufacturer says about handling, ventilation, storage and getting rid of it.
Use these products only for what they are meant for, following the manufacturer's instructions and the rules where you are. If you are not sure about the setup, stop and ask us about that particular product.
Choose a regular place and time for the inspection. Read the labels first and make sure the product and every equipment model can be matched to current manufacturer instructions. Check seals, connection surfaces and the condition of each part. Dirt, cracks, loose pieces, corrosion or signs of alteration mean the item stays off the bench.
Clear the preparation area and meet the ventilation and spacing requirements in the instructions. Assemble the setup in the stated order, using only approved components. If something will not align, needs force or behaves differently from the manual, stop. Do not solve an uncertain connection with an improvised adaptor or tool.
Write down who checked the setup, the date, the product and the equipment model. A small shift log stops the same question being repeated and makes it clear when a part has been removed from service. Label rejected equipment and store it away from working components until it has been assessed properly.
Complete the manufacturer's shutdown, cleaning and storage steps after use. Make sure the next shift knows about any issue. The routine is successful when every team member understands both how to prepare the equipment and the exact signs that require work to pause.
