Cleaning and Care
NOTE
Cleaning in the washing device
The appliances in the ISOBOX® Mobil Basic model range can be cleaned in
an automated cleaning system.
7.1
Hygiene Measures
It is essential for operating staff to act in the correct manner to ensure optimal hygiene.
All persons must have sufficient knowledge about the locally valid hygiene regulations, observe them and
comply with them.
Use a waterproof plaster to cover wounds on hands and arms.
Never sneeze or cough on clean crockery or meals.
7.2
Cleaning and Care
If the appliance is handled with care, cleaned and maintained on a regular basis, it does not require any ad-
ditional care measures. The boxes should be cleaned regularly after every use to ensure a perfectly hygienic
operation.
For quick and thorough cleaning, wipe the inside of the boxes with a soft cloth. Use a soft cleaning cloth or
an uncoated sponge for cleaning. Use degreasing liquid cleansers that are approved for the food industry.
Never use high-pressure cleaners, chloride-based cleaning agents, abrasive cleaning powder or other dry
cleaning agents, steel wool, steel sponges and/or sharp-edged items.

Special Care Instructions for Aluminium Surfaces
Pure aluminium reacts slightly to oxygen in the air. A thin, natural layer of oxide forms on the metal surface
due to this reaction between oxygen and aluminium. This uniform oxide layer provides the material with ex-
cellent corrosion protection as it becomes chemically inert.
However, acids and alkalis attack the oxide layer or dissolve it, meaning that the corrosion protection may be
lost. Depending on surface requirements and exposure to stress, further measures such as anodisation or
powder coating are necessary to produce corrosion-resistant, wear-proof aluminium surfaces.
Important instructions for aluminium surface care:
§
It is best to use clean water, possibly adding a little pH-neutral cleaning agent, and soft, non-scouring
cloths to clean aluminium.
§
Do not damage surfaces. Do not use highly abrasive cleaning materials. Do not use any steel tools as
they may scratch the surface. Abrasive cleaning agents or accessories, such as scouring agents,
steel wool or scouring pads, may damage aluminium surfaces and should not be used.
§
Do not treat surfaces with strongly acidic (pH value less than 5) or strongly alkaline (pH value more
than 8.5).
§
Wipe with clean water to finish, so that no residues are left on the surface.
§
As a basic rule, you should check whether a cleaning agent can be used by trying it out on a non-
visible section or on a sample surface first.
Suitable cleaning agents for cleaning aluminium surfaces:
§
Use neutral cleaning agents, such as water with washing-up liquid, to clean off easy-to-remove stains
from coated surfaces.
§
Use slightly acidic cleaning agents, such as vinegar and water in equal parts, to remove tougher
stains.
§
Remove strong coats of grease with organic solvents, such as ethanol. Keep the exposure time to a
minimum. Rubbing may cause the coating to lose its glossy appearance.
