• Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

• This equipment is to be installed to comply with the basic plumbing code of the Building Officials and Code Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

• To ensure proper steaming characteristics, some calcium/mineral deposits must be present on the generator surface. If, during cleaning, the surface does become free of calcium / mineral deposits, one approved method is to add plain tap water to the surface and allow it to boil off. This will ensure proper steaming characteristics by creating a thin layer of deposits on the surface.

The damage is usually in the form of discoloration, dulling of metal surface finish, pits, voids, holes or cracks. This damage is permanent and not covered by warranty.

• The following tips are recommended for maintenance of your stainless steel equipment,

• Always use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning, rinse with clear water and wipe dry. When required, always rub in direction of metal polish lines.

• Routine cleaning should be done daily using soap, ammonia detergent and water.

• Stains and spots should be sponged using a vinegar solution as required.
