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 cause damage to the
hinges, doors and latches and
cause the doors to come out of
alignment.
1. Tray slide assemblies are easily removed,
without tools, for cleaning. To remove the
slides, lift up from the bottom and rotate
90° upward to slide out. 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.
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.
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.
