DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES
1. Tray rack assembly is easily re-
moved, without tools. Lift up rack as-
sembly from the bottom and off of
rack pins that are at the bottom of the
cabinet. Angle rack to slide off the
upper pins. To reinstall, reverse the
procedure, starting with attaching the
uprights to the pins at the top of the
cabinet. Lift up rack and the rack in to
fit over the bottom pins
2. To clean stainless steel surfaces,
use only cleansers, detergents, de-
greasers, or sanitizers that are certi-
fied to the chloride-free and phos-
phate-free, and only in recommend-
ed 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 cor-
ners, or near edges. DO NOT TIP
CART ONTO DOORS to drain ex-
cess water. Use drain(s) at bottom of
cabinet to drain excess water.
3. Vinyl trim, if present, should be washed with a chlorine-free
detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and
allow to dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish
or substances containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol.
Caution: when using solvents, it is essential that proper pre-
cautionary measures be observed. Refer to solvent manufac-
turer’s instructions. Use of direct steam/hot water cleaning at
temperatures above 190°F may result in bubbling or loosening
of vinyl adhesive.
CAUTION : Beware
of sharp edges with
sheet metal during
cleaning process.
CAUTION : Do not
use steel wool pads
as they will result in
rusting from the ferrous metal
in the pads.
CAUTION : Do not
tip cart onto doors to
drain excess water.
This will damage the hinges
and cause the doors to come
out of alignment.
CAUTION: Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that contain chlo-
rides or phosphates will cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. The damage appears
as pits, eruptions, voids, small holes, cracks, severe discoloration, or dulling of the metal finish. Wa-
ter 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 COVERED BY THE WAR-
RANTY.
