3.1.1 CLEANING
Stainless steel surfaces will give you many years of trouble-free use as long as you follow a
few simple rules. If it appears to mark do not worry, it is usually not the steel but something
deposited on it which has stained.
Do wash all surfaces before use.
You should use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or
soap, or similar cleaners. Always rinse well with clean water and dry the surface with a soft
cloth. Clean regularly when in use.
Do
use soft cloths, nylon or bristle brushes.
Do not use
metal scrapers, wire brushes or wire wool pads as they can scratch the steel.
Do
take care when handling sharp objects as they can scratch the surface of stainless steel.
Any scratches on stainless steel will blend together over a period of time and become less
noticeable with age. There is no detriment to the corrosion resistance or general
performance of the material.
Do not use
bleach for cleaning purposes (remember dishwasher powders, sterilising agents
and similar products all contain chlorides). If used, black pit marks or other such effects may
appear and permanent damage may be caused. If used inadvertently rinse immediately with
clean water.
Do not splash the unit with bleach when cleaning around the counter.
If you do, rinse
the surface immediately with clean water thoroughly.
Do not allow
corrosive foodstuffs such as fruit juices, vinegar, mustards, pickles,
mayonnaise, etc., to remain on stainless steel for long periods. Wash and rinse away.
Do not
leave steel objects or utensils standing on the stainless steel surfaces for long
periods. They can rust and leave marks. After cleaning with detergent always remove
residues with a wet cloth and wipe dry, if left they can have an etching effect on the surface.
3.1.2 CLEANING OF THE DISPENSER.
Remove spillage from the lid, flange, casing and platforms of the dispenser daily with a moist
cloth.

below. Remove spillage from inside the dispenser regularly, as follows:

4. Remove the crockery from the dispenser.
5. Vacuum the inside of the cabinet and clean with a moist cloth.
6. Reconnect to the power supply.
