PROTECTING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
It is important to guard against corrosion
in the care of stainless steel surfaces.
Harsh, corrosive, or inappropriate
chemicals can completely destroy the
protective surface layer of stainless
steel. Abrasive pads, steel wool, or
metal implements will abrade surfaces
causing damage to this protective coating and will eventually
result in areas of corrosion. Even water, particularly hard water
that contains high to moderate concentrations of chloride, will
cause oxidation and pitting that result in rust and corrosion. In
addition, many acidic spills left to remain on metal surfaces are
contributing factors that will corrode surfaces.
Proper cleaning agents, materials, and methods are vital to
maintaining the appearance and life of this appliance. Spilled
items should be removed and the area wiped as soon as
possible but at the very least, a minimum of once a day. Always
thoroughly rinse surfaces after using a cleaning agent and wipe
standing water as quickly as possible after rinsing.
CLEANING AGENTS
Use non-abrasive cleaning products designed for use on
stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents must be chloride-free
compounds and must not contain quaternary salts. Never use
hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel surfaces.
Always use the proper cleaning agent at the manufacturer’s
recommended strength. Contact your local cleaning supplier
for product recommendations.
CLEANING MATERIALS
The cleaning function can usually
be accomplished with the proper
cleaning agent and a soft, clean
cloth. When more aggressive
methods must be employed, use a non-
abrasive scouring pad on diffi cult areas
and make certain to scrub with the visible
grain of surface metal to avoid surface
scratches. Never use wire brushes, metal scouring pads, or
scrapers to remove residue.
ANNUAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1.
Ensure that the correct Operation and Care Manual is
available to all users.
2.
Ensure that all users have been properly trained in
unit’s operation.
3.
Do not exceed the unit’s capacity.
4.
Inspect condition of plug and cord. Replace if damaged.
5.
Clean dust from outer vents surrounding the unit and
around top of bonnet.
6.
Check door gasket integrity. Are there any tears? Is the
gasket worn or loose? Make sure seal is tight to unit body.
Replace gasket if integrity is compromised.
7.
Check air temperature sensor mount on the interior of
chamber. Is the metal guard in place? Are the wires in
good condition?
8.
Check the blanket support assembly and shelf (if applicable).
Is the assembly in place? Are any pieces missing?
9.
Check basket and side rail condition (if applicable). Do
baskets move smoothly and freely?
10.
Check caster or leg condition. Ensure mounting bolts and
assembly is secure.
11.
Check control panel overlay condition. Are there any tears
or excessive wear on the graphic? Does the control work
properly when buttons are pushed?
12.
Check that all control LEDs light up as applicable.
13.
Is the Set Temperature comparable to the Actual temperature
displayed? If not, control needs calibration. Call Service.
Contact Service for immediate repair if any of the above
problems exist.
