CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning The Cabinet
Warning: Unplug the cabinet before cleaning or servicing. Do not wash the cabinet with a water jet or high pressure
water.
Caution: Do not spray or pour water into the control enclosure. To clean the cabinet, wipe with a damp cloth and dry
with a towel. Use only cleaning agents approved for stainless steel (depending on your cabinet construction).
Caution: Do not use cleaners with chlorides or phosphates as they may cause damage to stainless steel.
1. Use cleaners in the proper concentrations. Follow the manufacturer's directions for the cleaning product used. The
floor of the cabinet and water reservoir may be hosed out with low pressure water. After using any cleaning products,
thoroughly rinse all surfaces to remove all residue.
2. Use a damp cloth or sponge. Mild soap suitable for stainless steel is acceptable. Dry with a clean towel. Wipe up
spills as soon as possible and regularly clean the cabinet to avoid staining and difficult to clean conditions.
3. For Cleaning the LCD Display:
• Use mild soap and water
• Do not use any citrus based cleaners
Cleaning and De-scaling Instructions for the Water Reservoir:
1. Use only potable water suitable for drinking) in the cabinet. The reservoir is equipped with a heater, which heats the
water to create humidity and a water level sensor. As water evaporates from the reservoir, any minerals and chemicals
present in the water are left behind in the remaining water. Given enough time, these minerals can build up on the
reservoir, heater and sensor causing corrosion and a decrease in performance. Using distilled water or conditioned
water will help prevent scale build up. If distilled water is used, you may need to add baking soda to the water
for the low water sensor to work properly. Contact your local water authority for help in determining if a water
conditioning system is advised. Adding approximately one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to the water
reservoir will help prevent scale build-up.
Warning: Water inside this cabinet's reservoir is hot during use! Turn the cabinet off, unplug it from the electrical outlet
and allow the cabinet and water to cool before draining the water reservoir.
2. Do not allow scale to build up on the reservoir, heater or sensor. Dirty water should not be allowed to sit
overnight in the cabinet. At the end of each operating day, turn the power off and allow the cabinet and water to cool.
Drain the reservoir.
To de-scale the reservoir, heater element and water level sensor you may use a food grade de-scaler suitable for
stainless steel. You may already be using a de-scaling product in your kitchen for use in your ice maker, dishwasher
or coffee maker equipment. Follow the cleaning instructions on the product label. When finished, thoroughly rinse all
cleaning agents off the reservoir, heater and sensor and allow them to dry. At the beginning of the next operating shift,
refill the reservoir with potable water.
