WARNING
KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS AWAY FROM
CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
NEVER SPRAY THE SUPPORT HOUSING OR
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
A. Suggested Tools:
1. Cleaner, such as Klenzade HC-10 or HC-32 from ECOLAB, Inc.
2. Kettle brushes in good condition (and a bottle brush, for the draw-off).
3. Sanitizer such as Klenzade XY-12.
4. Film remover such as Klenzade LC-30.
B. Precautions:
Before cleaning, shut off the kettle by turning the thermostat dial to “OFF”, and
shut off all electric power to the unit at a remote switch, such as the circuit
breaker.
C. Procedure:
1. Clean food-contact surfaces as soon as possible after use. If the unit is in
continuous use, thoroughly clean and sanitize the interior and exterior at
least once every 12 hours.
2. Scrape and flush out food residues. Be careful not to scratch the kettle
with metal implements. Close the draw-off.
3. Prepare a hot solution of the detergent/ cleaning compound as instructed
by the supplier. Clean the unit thoroughly. A cloth moistened with
cleaning solution can be used to clean controls, housings, and electrical
conduits.
4. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with hot water, then drain completely.
5. Disassemble the tangent draw-off valve. Clean the draw-off port and
each valve part with a brush.
6. Rinse the kettle and draw-off valve parts thoroughly with hot water, then
drain completely.
7. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean soiled external and internal
surfaces. Remember to check the sides of the unit and control housing.
8. To remove stuck materials, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber
scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To reduce effort
required in washing, let the detergent solution sit in the kettle and soak
into the residue. Do NOT use abrasive materials or metal tools that might
scratch the surface. Scratches make the surface harder to clean and
provide places for bacteria to grow.
Do NOT use steel wool, which may leave particles in the surface and
cause eventual corrosion and pitting.
CAUTION
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO
THE SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES
AND CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
BE TAKEN. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES,
GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY
READ THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW
THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE
CLEANER TO BE USED.
Use only a sponge, cloth or plastic
brush to clean the kettle.
Scrapers or steel wool can
harm the kettle surface.
CAUTION
DO NOT MIX THE PARTS OF DIFFERENT
DRAW-OFF ASSEMBLIES DURING
WASHING. THE PARTS ARE NOT ALWAYS
INTERCHANGEABLE.
