NON-STICK COVER & SEAL PLATE
Due to the advancement of this technology, it is important to keep the non-stick cover in good condition. It is recommended
to replace the non-stick cover at least once every three months, to protect the seal plate, and maintain a sanitary surface.
The seal plate has been designed to provide long life performance when it is properly maintained.
The seal plate should
not be used as a cutting surface, any punctures will render the seal plate ineffective and will void the warranty.
The non-stick cover is used to create a sanitary, stick free sealing surface. Non-stick covers are porous, so liquid can
permeate the cover, and burn off on the hot plate.
The non-stick cover should be replaced if the surface is soiled or damage is present.
The seal plate can be cleaned with a mild degreaser. Spray degreaser on a soft cloth or paper towel and wipe the plate
while cold.
DO NOT WASH DOWN SEAL PLATE OR SPRAY ANY LIQUIDS DIRECTLY ONTO THE PLATE.
CLEANING THE CUT OFF ROD
Make sure that the unit is turned off and the cut off rod is cold to the touch.
Cover the surface with paper towels to protect it from over spray and debris.
Spray and coat the cut-off rod generously with an FDA approved “Degreaser”.
After soaking for a few minutes, lightly scrub the surface of the cut-off rod with a scour pad (Scotch-Brite™ type pad).
Wipe the surface clean of debris and residue with clean paper towels or cloths.
Repeat degreaser as needed until the rod is clean.
CLEANING THE UNIT
The SM20ES can be completely wiped down using mild cleaning detergent and a soft cloth or paper towels.
