7.3 .3 Procedure
a. Clean food-contact surfaces as soon as
possible after use, preferably while the kettle is
still hot. If the unit is in continuous use,
thoroughly clean and sanitize the interior and
exterior at least once every 12 hours.
b. Scrape and flush out food residues. Do not
scratch the kettle with metal implements.
c. Prepare a hot 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,
housings, and electrical conduits.
d. Rinse the kettle and draw-off parts thoroughly
with hot water, then drain completely. Keep
draw-off parts together. They are not
interchangeable.
e. When you reassemble the draw-off valve, hand-
tighten only.
f. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean
soiled external and internal surfaces.
Remember to check the sides and bottom of the
unit and control housing.
g. To remove materials stuck to the unit, use a
brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber scraper,
or plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To
reduce effort required in washing, let the
detergent solution sit in the kettle 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 may leave particles in the
surface and cause eventual corrosion and
pitting.
