DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES

CAUTION: Beware

of sharp edges with
sheet metal during

cleaning process.

CAUTION: Do not

use steel wool pads

as they will result in
rusting from the ferrous metal
in the pads.

CAUTION: Do not

tip cart onto doors to

drain excess water.
This will damage the hinges
and cause the doors to come
out of alignment.

1. Tray rack assembly is easily re­moved, without tools. Lift up rack as­sembly from the bottom and off of
rack pins that are at the bottom of the
cabinet. Angle rack to slide off the
upper pins. To reinstall, reverse the
procedure, starting with attaching the
uprights to the pins at the top of the
cabinet. Lift up rack and the rack in to
fit over the bottom pins

2. To clean stainless steel surfaces,
use only cleansers, detergents, de­greasers, or sanitizers that are certi­fied to the chloride-free and phos­phate-free, and only in recommend­ed concentrations or mixing ratios.
After cleaning and sanitizing, rinse all
exposed surfaces thoroughly with
large amounts of clear water. Wipe
off any standing liquid or residue
from all horizontal surfaces in cor­ners, or near edges. DO NOT TIP
CART ONTO DOORS to drain ex­cess water. Use drain(s) at bottom of
cabinet to drain excess water.

3. Vinyl trim, if present, should be washed with a chlorine-free
detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and
allow to dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish
or substances containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol.
Caution: when using solvents, it is essential that proper pre­cautionary measures be observed. Refer to solvent manufac­turer’s instructions. Use of direct steam/hot water cleaning at
temperatures above 190°F may result in bubbling or loosening
of vinyl adhesive.

CAUTION: Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that contain chlo­rides or phosphates will cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. The damage appears
as pits, eruptions, voids, small holes, cracks, severe discoloration, or dulling of the metal finish. Wa­ter with high chloride content can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water quality, we

recommend you have it tested.
Use of cleaning agents that are not recommended for stainless steel ma y cause permanent damage to the

cabinet. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WAR-

RANTY.

OPERATION

1. For best results, insert loaded trays in cart as quickly as possi­ble. Doors should be opened only when necessary in order to
keep food at proper temperature and prevent contamination of
foods from outside sources.

2. A magnetic catch for each door, is located on the side of the
cart for loading and unloading. The door will rotate 270° and lie
flat on the side of the cart.

Three pin
positions

3. Take care to avoid bumping carts into doors, walls and other
obstructions.

The tray racks are adjustable to accommodate
various tray dimensions, by relocating the pin
positions at the top and bottom of the cart.

plugs (4) over the holes (4) for the spacing
you need.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Do not move cabinet

unless door is secure­ly closed. Serious damage to
hinges and door may result if
bumped into tables, walls, or
other equipment when the
doors are open.

CAUTION: Use

only OEM original

equipment manufac­turer replacement parts. Using
unauthorized parts may cause
serious injury. Replacement
parts should be installed by a
qualified service technician.

CASTERS

Some cabinets may have caster bearings that are equipped with
Zerk grease fittings so that they may be easily lubricated with a
grease gun. Lubricate bearings at least once every six months. It
is recommended that FM Glacier Grease be used on Performance
Series patient tray carts (Carter-Hoffmann Part Number 18301­0004; 14 oz. tube) Lubrication will be required more often if cabinet
is cleaned with a hot water or steam cleaning system. Casters with
special sealed bearings are recommended for frequent cart wash
or steam cleaning systems.

LATCHES & HINGES

Make sure all joints remain sealed and door latches do not stick. If
necessary, use WD-40, silicone spray, graphite or other commer­cial lubricants for aluminum products, to keep door latches & hing­es from sticking. Do not use oil.

PERIMETER BUMPERS

Vinyl which has been dislodged from the channel due to severe
bumping or scraping can be pried back into place with a common
screwdriver.

DOORS

Never tip cart forward or open doors to drain water during or after
washing. This can cause serious damage to hinges doors and
latches.
