To remove grease and food splatters or condensed vapours 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.

  • Page 12: Troubleshooting Maintenance

    6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE No preventive maintenance is required other than adhering to the Cleaning Procedure instructions. DRAW-OFF VALVE LEAKS If a leak occurs through the valve stem, replace the “O” ring. If the leak can be attributed to faulty sealing occurring between the stem disc and valve seat, then this problem may be corrected by cleaning off the dried-on food residue with extremely fine emery cloth.
  • Page 13 TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE (continued) VENTING It is recommended that the “optional” steam trap assembly be installed. This should be plumbed to the exit end of the kettle. The thermostatic trap is a mechanical device that closes on high temperature and opens when the temperature drops, allowing the water which formed from condensate to exhaust but retain the steam under pressure.
