Cleaning The Cabinet
Warning: Unplug the cabinet before cleaning or servicing. Do not wash the cabinet with a water jet or high-
pressure water.
Warning: Allow the unit to cool before cleaning, as the interior of the cabinet may be hot enough to burn. Also,
allow the water in the pan to cool before removal.
Caution: Do not spray or pour water into the control module. To clean the cabinet and module, wipe with a damp
cloth and dry with a towel. Use only cleaning agents approved for aluminum.
Caution: Do not use strong alkalis as it may discolor aluminum.
• Use cleaners in the proper concentrations. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the cleaning product used.
After using any cleaning products, thoroughly rinse all surfaces to remove all residue.
• Use a damp cloth or sponge. Mild soap suitable for aluminum 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.
• If a control knob needs to be removed for cleaning, remove the knob, clean the knob recess and knob, and
replace the knob.
1. When removing the module, make sure the power cord is NOT hooked onto the cord keeper. Open the door(s). If
there is water in the stainless steel pan, remove and empty. Remove the module from the cabinet by lifting up the
front enough to clear its detent, and then pull the module away from the cabinet. The power cord slips through
the clearance hole at the rear of the cabinet.
2. Remove the slide racks.
3. After cleaning, replace all components. Make sure the slide racks are seated in the hangers correctly.
4. Push the power cord through the plastic snap bushing in the rear of the cabinet and install the module.
Cleaning Instructions for Clear, Polycarbonate Doors (if applicable):
The protective masking on the polycarbonate door may be removed by simply peeling it from the door, starting at
a top corner and working downward. For regular cleaning, a soft cotton flannel cloth and a cleaner recommended
by its manufacturer for use on polycarbonate plastics is suggested. Do not use synthetic cloths or cleaners not
intended for polycarbonate plastics as these will scratch and dull the polycarbonate door panel. Additional hints for
keeping the door panel clean and clear:
1. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, used as a cleaner, will aid in removing grease smudges and fingerprints.
2. A small amount of liquid dish detergent in a bucket of water will help remove heavier dirt and will help make the
clear panel antistatic and therefore less likely to attract dust.
3. A paste-wax recommended for polycarbonate plastics and approved for food service equipment will hide small
scratches and return the luster and clarity to the clear door panel as well as reduce the electrostatic attraction
of dust.
Cleaning Instructions for 3 Series Insulation Armour Panels on Sides, Top and Back:
Use soft cloth, mild soap water solution to clean lightly-soiled surfaces. Then wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
For heavily-soiled areas, use a soft brush and solvent or emulsion-based cleaner. Always insure the cleaner is
recommended for use on plastics and follow any special instructions from the manufacturer.
Cabinet Maintenance:
Regularly inspect this product. Tighten loose fasteners and replace worn or damaged parts with new InterMetro
approved parts. For mobile units, replace worn or damaged casters immediately; if equipped with grease fittings,
lubricate casters regularly.
