y This equipment is to be installed to
comply with the basic plumbing code
of the Building Officials and Code Ad-
ministrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food
Service Sanitation Manual of the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA).
y To ensure proper steaming character-
istics, some calcium/mineral deposits
must be present on the genera-
tor surface. If, during cleaning, the
surface does become free of calcium/
mineral deposits, add plain tap water
to the surface and allow it to boil off.
This may have to be repeated several
times to ensure proper steaming
characteristics by creating a thin layer
of deposits on the surface.
y Do not use a sanitizing solution or
abrasive materials. The use of these
may cause damage to the stainless
steel finish.
y Chlorides or phosphates in clean-
ing agents (e.g. bleach, sanitizers,
degreasers or detergents) could cause
permanent damage to stainless steel
equipment. The damage is usually in
the form of discoloration, dulling of
metal surface finish, pits, voids, holes,
or cracks. This damage is permanent
and not covered by warranty.
The following tips are recommended for
maintenance of your stainless steel equip-
ment:
y Always use soft, damp cloth for clean-
ing, rinse with clear water and wipe
dry. When required, always rub in
direction of metal polish lines.
y Routine cleaning should be done
daily with soap, ammonia detergent,
and water.
y Stains and spots should be sponged
using a vinegar solution.
y Finger marks and smears should be
rubbed off using soap and water.
y Hard water spots should be removed
using a vinegar solution.
