Cleaning
1. Suggested Tools
a. Cleaner, such as Klenzade HC-10 or HC-32 from ECOLAB, Inc.
b. Kettle brushes in good condition.
c. Sanitizer such as Klenzade XY-12.
d. Film remover such as Klenzade LC-30.
e. Spray Degreaser
f. DeLimer/Descaler
2. 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.
3. Procedure
a. 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.
b. Scrape and flush out food residues. Be careful not to scratch the kettle
with metal implements.
c. 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.
d. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with hot water, then drain completely.
e. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean soiled external and internal
surfaces. Remember to check the sides of the unit and control housing.
f. To remove stuck materials, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rub-
ber 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.
