2.2 GENERAL
After manufacturing, the tanks are tested and protected against corrosion with paraffin oil. Consequently, complete cleaning must be
undertaken before starting up.
Clean with hot water and domestic liquid detergent. Rinse abundantly.
The indirectly heated boiling kettles / bain-marie are better adapted for delicate cooking than directly heated boiling pans.
The boiling kettles and more particularly the directly heated boiling kettles must never be heated without a product in the tank. This would
result unavoidably in irreparably damaging the bottom of the tank.
2.3 MILK COOKING
This delicate cooking must be done in a indirectly heated boiling pan / bain-marie. It is recommended to rinse the tank with water before
each cooking.
After drainage, cool down the tank with water to avoid milky residue sticking against the sides and burning.
2.4 USE
Note: Reduce the heating rate as the product starts boiling or has reached the desired temperature.
For the safety and comfort of the personnel, actuate mechanical controlled ventilation simultaneously with the burners and never block the
burnt gas vents.
For bain marie boiling kettle a safety device switches off heating in the event of low water level in the double jacket.

This purging produces a trickle of water from below the front of the unit which runs into the floor gulley.
This can last for a minute after the water is turned off.
Note that this is not a leak it is normal operation.
Note: Refer to the installation manual if you prefer not have this purge.

3 CLEANING
WARNING: Regular and thorough cleaning will ensure prolonged service life
♦UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CLEANING CHEMICALS BE USED ON SURFACES THAT ARE OVER 60°C.
The result will be serious surface discolouration and damage.
♦High pressure jets or hoses should not be used for cleaning.
♦The warranty will not cover any issues arising from non compliance with the above.
♦The use of this equipment as a sink is strictly prohibited.
♦The appliance must be isolated electrically during cleaning or maintenance and when replacing parts.
Optimal cleaning:
Use water with soap or any other neutral and non-abrasive detergent product, avoid using metal wool pads. Rinse well after each cleaning.
In case of use of pressure less jets or foam guns, do not project water onto/into the burnt gas flue and the ventilation apertures (gas
appliance). - Set temperature at 50°C and remove most of food residues.
- Close the lid, put a little degreasing agent on trimmings. Avoid the introduction of liquids into the outlets for burnt gases (gas
appliance).
- Open the lid, wash the inner side of the lid and the tank and finally the lower trimmings.
- Close the lid when rinsing trimmings.
- Rinse the inner side of the lid.
- Open draining line and rinse it.
- Rinse the tank and inner trimming properly.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to dry the bottom of the tank. Stagnation of water mixed with cleaning agents or chlorine, after a certain time, results
in irreversible corrosion of the bottom.

It is imperative that the operation of the pressure valve is tested every 12 months. Follow the procedure below.
Attention:
Risk of burns from contact with the valve and vented steam.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, glasses ...)
Attention:
Do not use water to cool the pan down, immediately after doing the procedure.
Warning:
It is vital that the upper cap of the pressure valve is not touched except during the annual service or
if it is defective.
Remove the flue vent cover from the pressure valve.
Remove the facia cover, see « Access to components located behind the upper panel»).
Switch the unit on (with cooking pan empty) set to maximum until the temperature regulation is
activated (contactor or gas solenoid switches off).
Note: Depending on the type of boiling kettle the valve may open during this time.
Personal Protective Equipment required at this point.
After about 10 minutes scribe a line with a marker pen on the valve cover nut and undo it by 2
turns.
Starting from this point, the valve should open within a maximum of 2 additional turns (do not
unscrew any further).
- If this is the case close the cover nut until the valve is closed. The valve is working correctly
- If not switch off and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before safely changing the valve.
Attention:
The valve cover should not be unscrewed fully about 4 turns. This will compromise its operation.

5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT STAINLESS STEELS
Stainless steel is a steel grade so designed that a thin protective sheet is formed on the metallic surface which protects it against corrosion
(Oxide film resulting from the chemical reaction of oxygen on the metallic surface).
Any factor hindering the formation of this sheet, or facilitating its partial destruction (Food residues, overflow of liquids, stagnant liquids…)
reduces the resistance of stainless steel to corrosion.
Even if the composition of stainless steel enables it to withstand some chemical aggression better than classical steels, you must not think
that stainless steel is indestructible.
3 main factors affecting corrosion should be considered:
- General chemical environment: * Different brines (Salt concentration such as Sauerkraut…)
* Chlorides contained in particular in:
- cleaning products
- bleach.
- The temperature: Any chemical environment such as those above is made considerably more aggressive
to stainless steel as the temperature rises.
- Duration: The longer the contact time between stainless steel and the chemicals, the more
perceptible the consequences of corrosion will be.
The combination of these three factors may even lead to the destruction of the surface, even if they have been made in very high quality
stainless steel.
Note that when stainless steel becomes corroded, it is extremely rare that this is generated by the steel itself. Generally, cleaning
products which are inappropriate or are improperly used, defective maintenance or extreme conditions of use are found to be the origin of
the damage.
WARNING!
The Manufacturer will not be held responsible for cases of corrosion that result from these conditions and the manufacturers
warranty will not apply.
A list of the most frequent cause follows to allow you to better identify possible risks and take action to ensure the long life or your equipment.
5.2 THE COMMONEST CAUSES OF CORROSION:
Floor cleaning
Floors (prior to handover or during a kitchen deep clean) are often cleaned with very aggressive products. If the product is sprayed, without
necessary precautions, any splashes on the appliances may result in the corrosion of legs, bases and low level trims.
Worse still, if the area is not properly ventilated after application, the vapour from these products may settle on the equipment and result in
corrosion spreading to the entire surfaces.
Inappropriate cleaning product (Bleach, Acids, Soda)
If inappropriate products, such as bleach, acid or soda dilutions, (all products which are not especially designed for the maintenance of
stainless steels) are used, irreversible etching of the stainless steel surfaces can occur.
Cleaning product applied when the temperature is too high
All cleaning products are more aggressive at higher temperature. In principle the temperature of any surface must not exceed 60°C, or
permanent staining (blackening) of the stainless steel will result.
Inadequate rinsing after cleaning
After cleaning the surfaces should all be rinsed thoroughly to remove any chemical residue. If this is not done the residue will continue to act
over time with the risk of starting the corrosive process.
Worse still, if the affected surface is submitted to temperatures higher than 60°C (inside of an oven, a well or tank,...), the impact will be
greater and corrosion, will almost inevitably occur.
Stagnation of cleaning products
In the same way, all the areas that can trap chemicals, especially the channels, gutters, drainage manifolds, traps etc. must be subject to
careful and plentiful rinsing. (Use a nylon brush to reinforce the action of rinsing with clean water).
Salt concentration
Salt, much in use in kitchens, is often found to be the origin of pitting that can even penetrate the stainless steel. Spillages on any surface
should be cleaned at once.
Particular case of cooking in boiling salted water:
Salting water in a tank or well presents a major risk: never put cooking salt into the well before the water and remember that salt can
concentrating on the base of the well. Salt should be added to the water and stirred until it dissolves, the risk is reduced using table salt which
dissolves faster.
Intensive use with brine
Certain products, such as sauerkraut (acid juices), fish and sea food (presence of salt), and in general, all brines, must be subject to particular
attention. In the case of occasional use there should be no problem if equipment is carefully and systematically cleaned after each use.
In the case of intensive use, all the cooking equipment (ovens, boiling pans, even utensils) must be selected with a grade of stainless steel
specifically adapted to use in such an environment.

BONNET GRANDE CUISINE
Rue des Frères Lumière - Z.I Mitry Compans
77292 MITRY MORY Cedex
Too much chlorine in the mains water supply
Sometimes certain networks supply water containing chlorine at above normal levels. In this event it is not unusual to be faced with problems
of corrosion, pay particular attention to bain-marie, water baths, and equipment left to soak overnight etc.
Cleaning aluminium or aluminium coated items
The presence of aluminium or items that are aluminium coated in a chlorine solution is a particularly powerful catalyst for damaging stainless
steel.
Do not leave fittings such as hood filters, aluminium trays or dishes soaking in wells, tanks, pots, fryers etc. Just one night is sufficient to etch
stainless steel at the point of contact with aluminium.
5.3 CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
It is necessary to keep the metal surface perfectly clean by removing all dust, metallic particles and deposits of any nature that could damage
the protective sheet as mentioned above.
To achieve this it is sufficient to wash these surfaces with water and soap or any neutral, non-abrasive detergent product. CAREFULLY RINSE
and wipe the surfaces dry.
Never scrub stainless steel with wire if necessary use a non stick scourer or similar and scrub in the same direction as the stainless steels
polished finish.
5.4 MAINTENANCE OF THE GAS SYSTEM
To ensure long service life, safe and proper functioning, we recommended a full maintenance check twice a year by factory trained engineers
(Dismantling of burners, inspection and cleaning of venturis, cleaning jets, adjustment of air rings, cleaning of vents, checking for possible leaks,
greasing gas taps, checking control, regulating and safety accessories…).
