3. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 

 

3.1.  DAILY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 

Performing the preventative maintenance steps below on a daily basis will keep your equipment safe 
and at peak performance.  During the cooking process, starch build up will form on the temperature 
probes, and the inner surfaces of the tank.  If you are producing high quantities of pasta it may be 
necessary to clean these components more then once a day.

 

 
 
 
 
 

3.1.1. APPLIANCE 

INSPECTION 

 

Check that the high temperature limit and temperature probe are in the correct position and 
secured in place. 

 

 

Check that all gas and electrical connections are not loose or damaged in any way inside 
and outside of the cabinet. 

 

 

Check around the appliance for loose parts or accessories that need to be secured or other 
foreign items (ex: Aerosol cans) that should be removed from the area. 

 

 

Check for water leaks around the drain lines and water supply in and out of the cabinet and 
around the appliance. 

 
 

 
 
 
 

3.1.2.  CLEANING THE COOK TANK (RINSE TANK IF EQUIPPED) 

1.  Turn the appliance off as described in Section 2.5.2.  

 

2.  Scrub the tank, basket hanger, baskets and temperature probe using a Scotchbrite™ or other 

abrasive pad with a commercial type cleanser specifically designed for cleaning and 
sanitizing food contact surfaces.  Follow the directions and familiarize yourself with the safe 
use of this cleanser prior to using it to clean the appliance.  Care must be taken to remove all 
the foreign material on the tank and on components in the tank. 

 
 
 
 

3.  When cleaning is complete, rinse the inside of the tank and its components thoroughly with 

cool water.  Continue to rinse at least twice or until the cleaner has been completely and 
thoroughly rinsed from the tank. 

 

3.1.3.  CLEANING THE CABINET 

1.  The inside of the cabinet should be cleaned with a clean dry cloth removing oil, dust, dirt and 

cooking debris on all accessible surfaces and components. 

 
2.  The outside of the cabinet should be cleaned with a wetted cloth and mild detergent to 

remove oil, dust, dirt and debris.  Be careful not to introduce the detergent into the tank and 
food zone regions of the appliance.
