DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES

CAUTION: Beware

of sharp edges with
sheet metal during

cleaning process.

1. Vinyl trim should be washed with a chlorine-free detergent and
water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow to dry. Nev­er use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish, or substances
containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol. Use of direct
steam/hot water cleaning at temperatures above 190°F (88°C)

CAUTION: Do not

use steel wool pads

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

may result in bubbling or loosening of vinyl adhesive.

2. If the cart is a TT series Stacking Tray Transport cart, remove
tray strap prior to cleaning.

3. If the cart is a SS Starter Station, remove the plastic bins prior
to cleaning. These may be cleaned separately with warm
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly with clear water. Allow to
dry before reinstalling.

4. To clean stainless steel surfaces use only cleansers, deter­gents, degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to be
“chloride-free” and “phosphate-free”. DO NOT exceed 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.

5. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

CAUTION:

Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that contain chlorides or phos­phates will cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. The damage appears a s 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 may cause permanent dam­age to the cabinet. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR AND IS NOT COV-

ERED BY THE WARRANTY.

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.

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.
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.

FOR CABINETS WITH 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.
