18 V3-205 Dispensing System Owner’s Manual
Section 6
Maintenance
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Cleaning
Stainless steel contains 70-80% iron, which will
rust if not properly maintained. It also contains
12-30% chromium, which forms an invisible
passive, protective film that shields against
corrosion. If the film remains intact, the stainless
steel will remain intact. However, if the film is
damaged, the stainless steel can break down and
rust.To prevent stainless steel breakdown, follow
these steps:
CAUTION
Never use any metal tools. Scrapers,
files, wire brushes or scouring pads (except for
stainless steel scouring pads) will mar the surface.
CAUTION
Never use steel wool, which will
leave behind particles that rust.
CAUTION
Never use acid-based or chloride-
containing cleaning solutions, which will break
down the protective film.
CAUTION
Never rub in a circular motion.
CAUTION
Never leave any food products
or salt on the surface. Many foods are acidic.
Salt contains chloride.
For routine cleaning, use warm water, mild soap
or detergent and a sponge or soft cloth.
For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm water, a degreaser
and a plastic, stainless steel or Scotch-Brite pad.
Always rinse thoroughly.
Always rub gently in the direction of the steel
grain.
Preserving & Restoring
Special stainless steel polishing cleaners can
preserve and restore the protective film.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a regular
application of a high quality stainless steel
polishing cleaner as a final step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore the
stainless steel surface. First, thoroughly clean,
rinse and dry the surface. Then, on a daily
basis, apply a high-quality stainless steel polish
according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Heat Tint
Darkened areas, called heat tint, may appear
on stainless steel exposed to excessive heat,
which causes the protective film to thicken. It is
unsightly but is not a sign of permanent damage.
To remove heat tint, follow the routine cleaning
procedure. Stubborn heat tint will require
heavy-duty cleaning.
To reduce heat tint, limit the exposure of
equipment to excessive heat.
DAILY CLEANING
The Vivreau V3-205 Dispensing System should
be cleaned once a day.
Vivreau recommends using disinfectant spray
or a sanitizing wipe for cleaning.
If the Dispensing Head becomes soiled with
coffee, tea, milk, etc., clean with hot soapy water
using a non-abrasive cloth.
Clean the DripTray Cover and inside the DripTray
using either disinfectant spray (non-chlorine) or
hot, soapy water and non-abrasive cloth.
Keep area around the unit clean and sanitized.
Vivreau V3-205 Dispensing System equipment
in the under-counter area should be kept free of
dust; the ventilation should not be obstructed
restricting free air flow around the equipment.
The Vivreau V3-205 Dispensing System Nozzle
should be removed daily and cleaned with hot
soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth.
After completing all cleaning tasks, dispense
water for at least 10 seconds to flush through
the Nozzle.
DO NOT use any abrasive material on your
Vivreau V3-205 Dispensing System.
