SUggESTEd ClEANINg SUPPlIES
1. A high quality detergent and sanitizer, or a combination cleaning-
sanitizing agent.
2. Kettle brushes in good condition.
3. Spray Degreaser (PN 156704) or equivalent.
4. De-limer/De-scaler (PN 156707) or equivalent.
5. A high quality stainless steel cleaner.
PRECAUTIONS
Before any cleaning operation, shut off the kettle by turning the power switch and
thermostat dial to “OFF”; and shut off electric power to the unit at a remote switch,
such as the circuit breaker.
ClEANINg PROCEdURES
1. Clean food contact surfaces as soon as possible after use, preferably while the
kettle is still warm. If the unit is in continuous use, clean and sanitize inside and
outside at least once every 12 hours.
2. Scrape and flush out large amounts of food residue. Be careful not to scratch the
kettle with metal implements. Close the draw-off.
3. Prepare a solution of the detergent/cleaning compound as instructed by the sup-
plier. Clean the unit thoroughly. A cloth moistened with cleaning solution can be
used to clean controls, their enclosures, electrical conduit, etc.
4. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with hot water, then drain completely.
5. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean soiled external surfaces. Remember
to check the sides of the unit and control housing.
6. To remove burned-on foods, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber scraper,
or plastic wool, along with the cleaning solution. To reduce effort required, let the
detergent solution sit in the kettle for a few minutes and soak into the residue.
ImPORTANT
: 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 will leave particles in the surface
and cause eventual corrosion and pitting.
7. The outside of the unit can be cleaned with a warm water (100°F or less) spray.
do not use a high pressure spray.
The outside of the unit may be polished with
a stainless steel cleaner such as “Zepper” from Zep Manufacturing Co.
8. When the equipment needs to be sanitized, use a sanitizing solution equivalent
to one that supplies 200 parts per million chlorine. Obtain advice on the best
sanitizing agent from your supplier of sanitizing products. Following the suppli-
ers instructions, apply the sanitizing agent after the unit has been cleaned and
drained. Rinse off the sanitizer thoroughly.
NOTE
: It is recommended that the unit be sanitized just before use.
