Maintenance, Door Gaskets | Vulcan-Hart VL2GSS ML-52389 manual

DOOR GASKETS

Clean the gasket sealing surface of the compartment doors to remove harmful food acids for maximum gasket life. Do not use any solvents. Wash with a cloth moistened in a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with a fresh cloth moistened with warm water to remove all traces of detergent. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Never apply food oils or petroleum lubricants directly to the door gasket. Petroleum-based solvents and lubricants will shorten gasket life.

LEAVE COMPARTMENT DOORS OPEN

CAUTION: Leave the compartment doors slightly open when the steamer is not in use. When the compartment is idle, never latch the door and apply pressure to the door gasket. Leaving the gasket under pressure can cause permanent deformation, greatly shortening gasket life.

GUIDELINES FOR MAINTAINING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

There are four things that can break down stainless steel and allow corrosion to develop: 1) abrasion, 2) deposits, 3) water and 4) chlorides.

Avoid rubbing with steel pads, wire brushes or scrapers that can leave iron deposits on stainless steel. Instead, use plastic scouring pads or soft cloths. For stubborn stains, use products such as Cameo, Talc or Zud First Impression. Always rub parallel to the polish lines or with the grain.

Hard water can leave deposits that promote rust on stainless steel. Treated water from softeners or certain filters can eliminate these mineral deposits. Other deposits from food or lubrication must be properly removed by cleaning. Use mild detergent and nonchloride cleaners. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe dry. If using chloride-containing cleaners or sanitizers, rinse repeatedly to avoid stainless steel corrosion. Where appropriate, apply a polish recommended for stainless steel (such as Benefit or Super Sheen) for extra protection and lustre.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: THE STEAMER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING AND SERVICING THE STEAMER.

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES.

WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

A water treatment system is recommended for steam generators. Refer to your supplier's manual for normal maintenance procedures for proper scale-free operation recommendations.

DOOR GASKETS

If the door gasket is nicked or cut, it must be replaced. Damage to the gasket sealing surface will cause steam leakage.

If a leak occurs in one corner only and the gasket appears serviceable, turn the stainless steel screw on the gasket plate adjacent to the leaking corner one-half turn counterclockwise. Do not attempt excessive turning of screws since misalignment of the door is possible. If the door is misaligned, call your local Vulcan-authorized servicer.
