Cleaning Instructions, Plastic Laminate

Nordic Zone Salad Bar Service and Installation Manual

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Daily cleaning of the interior and exterior of the unit is recommended. All food must be removed from the interior before cleaning. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling cleaning solutions and cleaning the salad bar.

GLASS: Use the mildest cleaning product available to clean glass mirrors on the salad bar. Typically, soap and water, or ammonia will clean the glass sufficiently. If stronger solutions are required, be sure to use products designed for use on glass. Cleaning products designed for other materials will leave residue that is not removable.

DISINFECTING: If the interior surface requires disinfecting, use a product that contains Alkyl Ammonium Chloride to kill germs.

PLASTIC LAMINATE

In most cases, you only need to use a clean, damp nonabrasive cotton cloth and a mild liquid detergent or household cleaner. Rinse with clean water, using a clean, nonabrasive cotton cloth. Do not flood the laminate, especially near seams since water can penetrate and cause the substrate to swell. Dry the surface with a soft, clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, powders, steel wool, sandpaper, or Scotch-Brite™ scouring pads. Use a trivet, insulated hot pad or other protective device beneath all hot cookware, heat generating appliances, or other heated objects.

GREASE REMOVAL: Your regular daily cleaner may not remove grease, fingerprints or other oily deposits found on glass. In this case, use a stronger degreasing cleaner with butoxyethanol. Apply this cleaner with sponge or cloth. Remove with a squeegee. Reclean as necessary if streaks appear from degreaser.

DEGREASERS CAN HARM YOU. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING THESE MATERIALS.

CLEANING REFRIGERATED PLATFORM: After removing all food product and containers, lift the platform by grasping the front edge and pulling up.

When lifting front edge take caution to ensure palms are down as to not pinch fingers. See Figure-1 and Figure-2.

	The platform is mounted on two pistons, located at
	each end of the platform. Once raised, clean food debris
	from the area, paying attention not to force food down
CAUTION	the drain of this area. This drain is easily clogged and
	difficult to clean. Once food debris is cleaned out of the

area, use soap and water to wash the area and rinse. This will flow down the drain. When cleaning is done, pull the platform down.

CABINET WOOD

To clean, gently wipe liquid spills up with a damp towel. If necessary use with mild detergent.

CORIAN®

There are three types of countertop finishes: matte, semigloss and gloss. All Corian® sinks and bowls have the matte finish. Soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners will remove most dirt and stains from all

types of finishes. However, slightly different techniques must be used to remove difficult stains, depending on the finish.

Preventing Heat Damage: to prevent heat damage, always use a hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet to protect your Corian.
