3.1. DAILY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Performing the preventative maintenance steps below on a daily basis will keep your equipment safe
and at peak performance. During the cooking process, starch build up will form on the temperature
probes, and the inner surfaces of the tank. If you are producing high quantities of pasta it may be
necessary to clean these components more then once a day.
3.1.1. APPLIANCE INSPECTION
 Check that the high temperature limit and temperature probe are in the correct position and
secured in place.

Check that all gas and electrical connections are not loose or damaged in any way inside
and outside of the cabinet.

Check around the appliance for loose parts or accessories that need to be secured or other
foreign items (ex: Aerosol cans) that should be removed from the area.

Check for water leaks around the drain lines and water supply in and out of the cabinet and
around the appliance.
3.1.2. CLEANING THE COOK TANK (RINSE TANK IF EQUIPPED)
1. Turn the appliance off as described in Section 2.5.2.
2. Scrub the tank, basket hanger, baskets and temperature probe using a Scotchbrite™ or other
abrasive pad with a commercial type cleanser specifically designed for cleaning and
sanitizing food contact surfaces. Follow the directions and familiarize yourself with the safe
use of this cleanser prior to using it to clean the appliance. Care must be taken to remove all
the foreign material on the tank and on components in the tank.
3. When cleaning is complete, rinse the inside of the tank and its components thoroughly with
cool water. Continue to rinse at least twice or until the cleaner has been completely and
thoroughly rinsed from the tank.
