At the end of the day, you should take the depositor completely apart. Wash all the parts with hot, soapy water and let them air dry completely before putting it back together.

What are the electrical needs for an automatic depositor?
An automatic depositor needs a standard electrical outlet. You should check the machine’s manual to see the exact voltage it needs.
