To remove stuck materials, 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.
i.
The outside of the unit may be polished
with a stainless steel cleaner such as
“Zepper” from Zep Manufacturing Co.
j.
When equipment needs to be sanitized,
use a solution equivalent to one that
supplies 200 parts per million available
chlorine. Obtain advice on sanitizing
agents from your supplier of sanitizing
products. Following the supplier’s
instructions, apply the agent after the unit
has been cleaned and drained. Rinse off
the sanitizer thoroughly.
CAUTION
NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN
CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES.

k.
It is recommended that each piece of
equipment be sanitized just before use.
l.
If there is difficulty removing mineral
deposits or a film left by hard water or
food residues, clean the kettle thoroughly
and then use a deliming agent, like Groen
Delimer/Descaler (Part Number 114800)
or Lime-A-Way® from Ecolab, in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
directions. Rinse and drain the unit before
further use.
m. If cleaning problems persist, contact your
cleaning product representative for
assistance. The supplier has a trained
technical staff with laboratory facilities to
serve you.
