PROTECTING STAINLESS STEEL, EPOXY COATED AND
PLASTIC 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,
epoxy or plastic . 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 .
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 overload cabinet .
• Blanket Warmer:
1" (25mm) from top interior of unit
• Fluid Warmer:
See electrical/capacity page
4 . Inspect condition of plug and cord . Replace if damaged .
5 . Clean dust from under inserts, outer vents surrounding the
unit and around top of bonnet (if applicable) .
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 guard in place? Are the wires in
good condition?
8 . Check insert assembly (depends on unit):
• Blanket Warmer:
Check the blanket support
assembly and shelf . Is the assembly in place?
Are any pieces missing?
• Fluid Warmer:
Check basket and side rail condition . Do
baskets move smoothly and freely?
9 . Check condition of casters or feet . Ensure components are
secure and tightly threaded .
10 . Check control panel overlay condition . Are there any tears
or excessive wear on the graphic? Does the control work
properly when buttons are pushed?
11 . Check that all control and interior LEDs light up .
12 . Is the set temperature comparable to the actual temperature
displayed? Check cavity air temperature with a quality
thermocouple placed 1" (25mm) from the cavity sensor not
allowing it to touch any surface . Monitor for approximately
one hour in an empty cavity .
Contact service for immediate repair
if any of the above problems exist.
