Cleaning
WARNING
KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS AWAY FROM
CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
NEVER SPRAY THE SUPPORT HOUSING OR
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
A. Suggested Cleaning Supplies:
1. Cleaner, such as Klenzade HC-10 or HC-32 from ECOLAB, Inc. or
equivalent.
2. Kettle brushes in good condition.
3. Sanitizer such as Klenzade XY-12.
4. Film remover such as Klenzade LC-30.
B. Precautions
Before cleaning, shut off the kettle by turning the thermostat dial to “OFF,” and
shut off all electric power to the unit at a remote switch, such as the circuit
breaker.
C. Procedure
1. Clean food-contact surfaces as soon as possible after use. If the unit is in
continuous use, thoroughly clean and sanitize the interior and exterior at
least once every 12 hours.
2. Scrape and flush out food residues. Be careful not to scratch the kettle
with metal implements. (For TDO-equipped models only: After flushing
the kettle, close the draw-off valve.)
3. Prepare a hot solution of the detergent/ cleaning compound as instructed
by the supplier. Clean the unit thoroughly. A cloth moistened with clean-
ing solution can be used to clean controls, housings, and electrical
conduits.
4. Models with TDO-valves: Disassemble the tangent draw-off valve. Clean
the draw-off port and each valve part with a brush.
5. Rinse the kettle and draw-off valve parts thoroughly with hot water, then
drain completely.
6. When you reassemble the draw-off valve, hand-tighten the nut which
holds it in place.
7. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean soiled external and internal
surfaces. Remember to check the sides of the unit and control housing.
8. To remove burnt on foods, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rub-
ber scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To reduce effort
required in washing, let the detergent solution sit in the kettle and soak
into the residue. Do NOT use abrasive materials or metal tools that might
scratch the surface. Scratches make the surface harder to clean and
provide places for bacteria to grow.
Do NOT use steel wool, which may leave particles in the surface and
cause eventual corrosion and pitting.
CAUTION
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE
SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES, AND
CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES
OR FACE SHIELD, AND PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. READ THE WARNINGS AND
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL
OF THE CLEANER CAREFULLY.
When attaching the draw-off valve,
just hand tighten the nut.
WEAR EYE
PROTECTION
CAUTION
DO NOT MIX PARTS OF DIFFERENT DRAWOFF
VALVE ASSEMBLIES. THE PARTS ARE
NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
NOTICE
NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN
CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES.
LONGER CONTACT CAN CAUSE
STAINING AND CORROSION.
