CLEANING, CARE & MAINTENANCE
Attention to regular care and maintenance will ensure long and trouble free
operation of your Bain Marie. Although scheduled servicing is not required we do
recommend you adopt a program of regular maintenance to ensure that the Bain
Marie is clean and functional and to avoid inadvertently damaging the unit.
When the Bain Marie is being operated wet, it must be stressed that clean, fresh
water should be used at all times. The addition of a slice of lemon or lemon drops to
the water daily will help to prolong the life of the element.
Ensure the power is off and the Bain Marie is cool before attempting to clean any part
of the machine. It is recommended that the water be allowed to cool before draining
the tank. The tank and element can then be wiped clean. To clean the Bain Marie,
use hot soapy water with a clean sponge or cloth. We recommend this be done daily
to prolong the life of the element and tank. Do
not
use a metal scourer. In some
areas hard water may cause a residue to build up on the surface of the tank and
element. This should be removed to prevent any corrosion to the tank and/or
element failure.
Although every care is taken during manufacture to remove all sharp edges, care
should be taken when cleaning to avoid injury.
Particular care should be taken when cleaning under the rim of the tank to avoid
contact with possible sharp edges.
Do not
immerse the Bain Marie in water or allow the ingress of water into the
ventilation holes or controls.
Do not
clean this unit with the use of a water jet or
spray applicator. Spray application cleaners are a leading cause of moisture
ingress into the control switches and associated breakdowns.
CAUTION:
Although every care is taken during manufacture to remove all
sharp edges, care should be taken when cleaning and handling the Bain Marie
to avoid injury.
CAUTION:
Some cleaning agents can damage stainless steel, usually through
prolonged use. For this reason we recommend cleaning with soapy water. Any
damage to the unit through the use of harsh or improper cleaning agents is entirely
the fault of the user.
IMPORTANT
: When using wet, Daily cleaning is required to avoid deposits
building up which can cause corrosion. Never use caustic or abrasive cleaning
chemicals or cleaning pads which can cause damage to the stainless steel.
