SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING NON STICK COATED
EQUIPMENT
The following instructions cover the models of ROBAND
®
equipment that are offered
with non-stick coating as an option.
The non-stick coating utilised is high quality, however Roband
®
Australia Pty Ltd
cannot guarantee the performance or longevity of these coatings other than against
faulty workmanship. This is the case due to the protective coating nature of the
product and its use in unknown commercial environments.
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your equipment. Always follow the care and maintenance procedure
that is described in the operating instructions for your particular equipment and in
addition to those, carry out the steps below.
The following list contains the recommendations from the manufacturer to maximise
the life and performance of the non-stick coating on your equipment.
Do
NOT
use at high temperatures over 240°C.
Do
NOT
use metal spatulas, scrapers, tongs or knives when transferring food
in or out of the plates, or when scraping residue into the grease tray. Plastic
tipped spatulas and tongs should be used at all times on non-stick coated
units.
A non-stick coating will not stop carbonisation of food that is left on the plates.
Food that is carbonised is harder to remove, and reduces cooking
performance. Avoid food carbonisation by cleaning regularly during normal
use, by wiping with a plastic scraper, spatula or squeegee. The advantage of
non-stick coating is that wiping down often is easy.
At the end of each day, use warm soapy water to clean the surface. A nylon
brush or non-woven, nylon pot scourer can be used to assist in the removal of
stubborn build up. Be careful to ensure that water does
not
penetrate into the
equipment.
Never
put cold water on a warm or hot cooking surface.
Using a little cooking oil will assist with particularly sticky substances.
