Cleaning
SUGGESTED TOOLS
1. A good stainless steel cleaner
2. Brushes in good condition
3. Cloth for cleaning controls
4. Chlorine sanitizer
5. Heavy Duty Cleaner (if required)
PROCEDURE
1. Clean all food-contact surfaces soon after use. It is best to clean the pan before
it has completely cooled. If the unit is in continuous use, completely clean and
sanitize both the inside and outside at least once every 12 hours.
2. To remove any large amount of food left in the pan, tilt the pan all the way up
and flush it with lukewarm water. Do not damage the surface of the pan by
scraping it with a metal tool. Scratches make the surface more difficult to clean,
and provide ideal breeding places for bacteria.
3. Following the supplier’s directions, make up a warm solution of the cleaner.
Carefully wash the inside and outside of the pan body with the cleaning solution.
4. Use a cloth moistened with cleaning solution to clean controls, the control
console, and electric conduit.
5. Rinse the pan very well with lukewarm water, and drain it completely.
6. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean all inside and outside surfaces that
may have been soiled. Remember to check such parts as the undersides of the
cover, the electrical console and other more remote spots. Clean between the
pan body and the consoles using the brush provided (P/N 058705).
7. Controls and the control console may be cleaned with a damp cloth or sprayed
with a garden hose spray connected to city water supply. Do not use a pressure
sprayer directly on the unit or electrical parts.
8. To remove materials stuck to the equipment, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic
or rubber scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To make washing
easier, let the cleaning solution sit in the unit and soak into the residue, or heat
the solution briefly. Do not use any gritty cleaner or metal tool that might scratch
the surface. Scratches make the surface harder to clean, and also provide places
for bacteria to grow. Do not use steel wool. Small bit of steel wool left in the
surface of the unit can cause rusting and pitting. Do NOT use flammable solvents
or cleaning aids to clean the braising pan
9. The outside of the unit may be polished with a recognized stainless steel cleaner
such as Zepper from the Zep Manufacturing Company.
10. When the equipment needs to be sanitized, use a sanitizing solution equivalent
to one that supplies 100 parts per million available chlorine. Get advice about the
best sanitizing agent from you supplier of sanitizing products.
