Cleaning

A. 

  Suggested Cleaning Supplies

 

  1. 

A high quality detergent and sanitizer, or a combination cleaning-

 

   

sanitizing agent.

 

  2. 

Kettle brushes in good condition.

 

  3. 

Spray Degreaser.

 

  4. 

De-limer/De-scaler.

 

  5. 

A high quality stainless steel cleaner.

B. 

  Precautions

 

  Before any cleaning operation, shut off the kettle by turning the thermostat

 

  dial to “OFF”, and shut off all electric power to the unit at a remote switch,

 

  such as the circuit breaker.

C. 

  Procedure

 

  1. 

Clean food contact surfaces as soon as possible after use, preferably 

 

   

while the kettle is still warm. If the unit is in continuous use, clean

 

   

and sanitize inside and outside at least once every 12 hours.

 

  2. 

Scrape and flush out large amounts of food residues. Be careful not

 

   

to scratch the kettle with metal implements. Close the draw-off.

 

  3. 

Prepare a solution of the detergent/cleaning compound as instructed

 

   

by the supplier. Clean the unit thoroughly. A cloth moistened with 

 

   

cleaning solution can be used to clean controls, housing, electrical

 

   

conduit, etc.

 

  4. 

Rinse the kettle thoroughly with hot water. Then drain completely.

 

  5. 

Disassemble the tangent draw-off valve. Clean the draw-off port and

 

   

each valve part with a brush.

 

  6. 

Rinse the kettle and draw-off valve parts thoroughly with hot water,

 

   

then drain completely.

 

  7. 

When you reassemble the draw-off valve, HAND-TIGHTEN the nut

 

   

which holds it in place.

 

  8. 

As part of the daily cleaning program, clean soiled external and

 

   

internal surfaces. Remember to check the sides of the unit and

 

   

control housing.

 

  9. 

To remove burned-on foods, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or

 

   

rubber scraper, or plastic wool along with the cleaning solution. To

 

   

reduce effort required in washing, let the detergent solution sit in the

 

   

kettle for a few minutes and soak into the residue. Do NOT use 

 

   

abrasive materials or metal tools that might scratch the surface.

 

   

Scratches make the surface harder to clean and provide places for

 

   

bacteria to grow. Do not use steel wool, which will leave particles in

 

   

the surface and cause eventual corrosion and pitting. 

 

  10. 

The outside of the unit may be polished with a recognized stainless

 

   

steel cleaner.

WARNING

KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF

CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.

DO NOT USE A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO

CLEAN THE CONTROL CONSOLE,

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ETC.

CAUTION

NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER 

IN CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL 

SURFACES FOR LONGER THAN 30
MINUTES. LONGER CONTACT CAN 

CAUSE CORROSION.

CAUTION 

MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE 

SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND 

CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE

TAKEN TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES,

GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY
READ THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW 

LABEL DIRECTIONS.

Use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or 

rubber scraper, or plastic wool to clean.

Don’t use metal implements 

or steel wool when cleaning.
