  • Page 15: Stainless Steel Equipment Care And Cleaning

    STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING (Supplied courtesy of NAFEM. For more information, visit their web site at www.nafem.org) Contrary to popular belief, stainless steels ARE susceptible to rusting. Corrosion on metals is everywhere. It is recognized quickly on iron and steel as unsightly yellow/orange rust.
  • Page 16 Treat your water. Though this is not always practical, softening hard water can do much to reduce deposits. There are certain filters that can be installed to remove distasteful and corrosive elements. To insure proper water treatment, call a treatment specialist. Keep your food equipment clean.

  • Page 17: Cleaning

    CLEANING Disconect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout procedures before cleaning. Clean your braising pan regularly. Keep the plate surface clean. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly braised products, keep the pan surface free from carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the pan surface to the food.
