Metro Autoclave Tips - Manual

INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING
Proper cleaning and sanitizing of
your stainless steel solid shelving
requires the use of the proper
cleaning agents used in the correct
concentrations. The use of the
wrong agents and concentrations
could damage your shelving.
DO NOT USE CLEANERS OR
SANITIZERS CONTAINING
CHLORINE OR SODIUM
HYPOCHLORITE.
They may discolor or damage the
shelving unit. These chemicals are
in some commercially available
products such as bleaches (like
Clorox) and some detergents
(like Comet).
Cleaning and sanitizing is a two-
step process. Cleaning involves
removing the larger food particles,
heavy soil and stains which may
be on the shelf. Sanitizing kills the
bacteria and mold which may exist
on the shelf surface. It is generally
true that one application of any
product cannot accomplish both
cleaning and sanitizing. The heavy
soils must be removed first so that
the sanitizer can do its job on a
“clean” surface.
Since these cleaners and
sanitizers are usually purchased in
concentrated form, proper eye and
skin protection must be worn while
handling the concentrated product.
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT
CLEANERS AND/OR SANITIZERS.
FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S
DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. DILUTE
ALL CONCENTRATES TO THE
PROPER STRENGTH.
Stainless Steel Solid Shelving
GUIDELINES
& APPLICATION
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
When stainless solid shelving, as
part of a mobile shelving unit, is
used in an autoclave, the following
Metro product guidelines are recom-
mended to ensure optimal product
performance and longevity:
Stainless, swedged posts with
aluminum post caps must be utilized
(part numbers 33/54/63UPS-SW).
Aluminum split sleeves (part
number 9986S) with stainless
rings should be used to mount
solid stainless shelves.
Select either hi-temp phenolic
casters or hi-temp nylon casters
for application. These casters
are designed specifically for
autoclave environments.
