Cleaning
WARNING
BEFORE ANY CLEANING OPERATION,
TURN THERMOSTAT DIAL TO “OFF” TO
CUT ANY POWER TO THE HEATING
ELEMENTS. BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART
OTHER THAN THE INSIDE OF THE PAN,
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT
CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX.
A. Suggested Tools
1. Cleaner, such as Klenzade
2. Brushes in good condition
3. Cloth for cleaning controls
4. Chlorine sanitizer such as Klenzade
5. Heavy Duty Cleaner, such as Klenzade LC-30
B. Procedure
1. Clean all food-contact surfaces soon after use. It is best to clean the pan
before it has completely cooled. If the unit is in continuous use, completely
clean and sanitize both the inside and outside at least once every 12 hours.
2. To remove any large amount of food left in the pan, tilt the pan all the way
up and flush it with lukewarm water. Do not damage the surface of the pan
by scraping it with a metal tool. Scratches make the surface more difficult
to clean, and provide ideal breeding places for bacteria.
3. Following the supplier’s directions, make up a warm solution of the cleaner.
Carefully wash the inside and outside of the pan body with the cleaning
solution.
4. Use a cloth moistened with cleaning solution to clean controls, the control
console, and electric conduit.
5. Rinse the pan very well with lukewarm water, and drain it completely.
6. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean all inside and outside surfaces
that may have been soiled. Remember to check such parts as the electri-
cal console and other remote spots. Clean between the pan body and the
console using a brush.
7. To remove materials stuck to the equipment, use a brush, sponge, cloth,
plastic or rubber scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To
make washing easier, let the cleaning solution sit in the unit and soak
into the residue, or briefly heat the solution. Do not use any gritty cleaner
or metal tool that might scratch the surface. Scratches make the surface
harder to clean and provide places for bacteria to grow. Do not use steel
wool. Small bits of steel wool left in the surface of the unit can cause rust-
ing and pitting.
8. The outside of the unit may be polished with a recognized stainless steel
cleaner such as Zepper from the Zep Manufacturing Company.
9. When the equipment needs to be sanitized, use a sanitizing solution
equivalent to one that supplies 100 parts per million available chlorine.
Get advice about the best sanitizing agent from you supplier of sanitizing
products.
10. Following supplier instructions, apply the sanitizing agent after the unit has
been cleaned and drained. Thoroughly drain off the sanitizer.
CAUTION
