Good sanitation practice demands that all food preparation equipment be cleaned regularly (only
use non-toxic, food grade cleaners). A clean looking, well-kept machine is one of the best ways of
advertising your product.
Note:
It is extremely important to follow all of the cleaning procedures, otherwise
parts damage and equipment failure will result. The warranty does not cover
parts that are damaged due to improper cleaning.
Daily Kettle Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION:
A hot kettle will cause burns if you touch it with your hand. Allow kettle to
cool at least 1 hour before attempting to clean.
DO NOT
use ice or water to
cool down a hot kettle! Severe kettle damage will result!
1.
When cool, wipe the
outside
of the kettle with a clean, soft cloth.
DO NOT
use oven
cleaners or abrasive materials as they will damage the kettle.
2.
Every night, mix Gold Medal’s Heat’n Kleen solution (Item No. 2095), 2 tablespoons
per gallon of water. It is not necessary to use the entire gallon at once; only use
enough to fill the kettle 1/2 inch deep.
3.
Turn the kettle heat ON. When the water starts to boil, turn the kettle heat OFF.
4.
Allow to cool for at least 1 hour, then dump the solution into a bucket and wipe the
inside of the kettle with a clean cloth. Make sure all of the solution goes into the
bucket; do not spill any in the interior of the machine.
For an extra dirty kettle, the process may be repeated; or, after turning the kettle heat
OFF, allow solution to sit in the kettle overnight. The next morning, dump the solution
into a bucket and wipe the inside of the kettle with a clean cloth.
5.
With the unit OFF and unplugged, wipe the kettle lead cord with a clean SLIGHTLY damp
cloth.
DO NOT get moisture into the kettle lead-in cord, severe damage will result.
