Cleaning
DAIRY DRAW-OFF VALVE CLEANING
1. Remove the plug by first removing the handle, then
turn the plug to line up with the pin and pull with both
hands. It is important to use both hands because the
plug is heavy.
2. Put the plug in a plastic pail that contains a mild soap
solution. A plastic pail works best, as it reduces the
possibility of nicking or scratching the plug. If the plug
gets scratched it may not seal correctly and could
leak.
3. Use a soft cloth or soft brush and clean all surfaces.
4. Using both hands remove the valve from the soap
and rinse well in another plastic pail that contains
fresh water.
5. Wash out the kettle as normal.
6. Once the kettle is washed out, return the plug into the
body. Be sure the plug is inserted into the notch and
turned. Ensure the plug is tight and secure before let-
ting go of it.
If you are cleaning a body and plug assembly, remove
the plug and follow the above procedures. When finished
with the plug, follow the same instructions for washing the
body. Always use both hands when handling the plugs.
Reassemble the plug into the body and use as normal.
WHAT TO DO IF SURFACE RUST APPEARS
Metal utensils should never be used as they will scratch
the surface of the equipment and rust may begin to form.
To remove surface accumulation of rust from the inadver-
tent use of such utensils, the following procedure may be
used.
CAUTION
Improper use of this procedure may damage
your appliance!
1. Use undiluted white vinegar with a non-abrasive
scouring pad (plastic) or cloth on the affected area to
remove the rust stain. The appliance should not be
heated and remain at room temperature during the
entire cleaning process.
2. If the stain resists removal, additional exposure time
with vinegar may be required, to a maximum of one
hour.
3. Thoroughly wash all of the vinegar away with fresh
clear water. Dry the surface completely and allow one
hour before using the appliance to cook.
MAINTENANCE
Following daily and period maintenance procedures will
prolong the life for your equipment. Climatic conditions -
salt air - may require more thorough and frequent cleaning
or the life of the equipment could be adversely affected.
STAINLESS STEEL
To remove normal dirt, grease or product residue from
stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water (with or with-
out detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thor-
oughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any other
corrosive cleaner.
To remove grease and food splatters or condensed va-
pours that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser
to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal
in the direction of the polishing lines. Rubbing cleanser
as gently as possible in the direction of the polished lines
will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB
WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION.
Soil and burn deposits which do not respond to the above
procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface
with SCOTCH-BRITE™ scouring pads or STAINLESS
scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL
as any particles left on the surface will rust and further
spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE
BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAIN-
LESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS.
Surfaces which are marred collect dirt more rapidly and
become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases
the possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then
be required.
TO REMOVE HEAT TINT
Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel sur-
faces where the area has been subjected to excessive
heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening
of the protective surface of the stainless steel and is not
harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the forego-
ing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls
for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines
using SCOTCH-BRITE™ scouring pads or a STAINLESS
scouring pad in combination with a powdered cleanser.
Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying or by
reducing heat to equipment during slack periods.
All food contact surfaces must be thoroughly drained and
flushed prior to cooking in the kettle.
CONTROL PANEL
The textured control panel should be cleaned with warm
water and mild soap. Never use an abrasive cloth or steel
wool. Never use cleaning solvents with a hydrocarbon
base.
