CASE CLEANING
A periodic cleaning schedule should be established to maintain
proper sanitation, insure maximum operating efficiency, and
avoid the corrosive action of food fluids on metal parts that are
left on for long periods of time. We recommend that all heat-
ed surfaces be kept clear of excess food daily and a complete
cleaning take place once a week. Further suggestions for case
cleaning include the following:
•
To avoid shock hazard, be sure all electrical power is turned
off before cleaning. In some installations, more than one
disconnect switch may have to be turned off to completely
de-energize the case.
•
Allow cases to be turned off long enough to cool before
starting the cleaning process.
•
Clean from top to bottom when cleaning the display case to
avoid cross contamination.
•
If any potentially harmful cleaners are used, be certain
to provide a temporary separator (e.g., cardboard, plastic
wrap, etc.) between those cases that are being cleaned
and those that may still contain product.
•
Avoid spraying any cleaning liquids directly on the electrical
connections, steam cleaning or using excessive amounts
of water.
•
If the case is equipped with doors be sure to leave them
open until the case is completely dry.
•
Remove toekick and clean underneath the case with a
broom and a long-handled mop. Use warm water and a dis-
infecting cleaning solution when cleaning underneath the
cases.

SHOCK HAZARD
Always disconnect power to case when servicing
or cleaning. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or death.

Always let the case cool before cleaning. Failure
to do so may result in sub-standard operation
and increased chances of safety issues/injury.
