GENERAL USE AND CARE
KEEP IT DRY
While all equipment must be cleaned regularly, it is important that water not be introduced into the interior. Water will degrade insulation, damage equipment components and create an electric shock hazard.
1.Never submerge brewers, airpots or servers in water unless it is specifically stated in the Owners Manual that it is safe to do so.
2.Do not use a hose or jet stream to wash equipment, or to wash over, under or around equipment. Bloomfield brewers are not jet stream approved.
3.Do not spill, pour or spray water onto or over any warmers, wiring, controls or control panel.
CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL
1.Bloomfield brewers are constructed of high quality stainless steel, As long as the stainless steel surface is intact, the equipment will not rust or corrode.
2.The surface can be damaged by mechanical abrasion, hard water deposits and chlorine:
a.NEVER use steel wool, wire brushes or metal scrapers to clean the equipment. These will damage the surface of the stainless steel.
b.Hard water deposits left behind when water is evaporated can damage the surface.
c.Chlorides from chlorinated cleansers, calcium/lime/rust removers (e.g. muriatic acid), even heavily chlorinated city water can attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
d.DO NOT use any highly caustic cleaners on equipment. Use of highly caustic cleaners will attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
e.LIMIT USE of strong caustic cleaners on equipment. Rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water solution to neutralize any residue. Failure to do so may cause damage to the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
f.Cleansers containing ammonia will attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
3.Use the proper tools in the proper way to clean your Bloomfield equipment:
a.Soft cloth and plastic scouring pads are generally safe to use on stainless steel.
b.Stainless steel pads may be used ONLY IF the scrubbing motion is in the direction of the visible grain. DO NOT use a circular motion.
c.In the absence of visible grain, use only soft cloth or plastic pads. Scrub only in a linear motion along the longest axis of the equipment.
d.Daily cleaning should be performed with a clean, soft cloth MOISTENED with water and mild detergent, and rinsed with a clean, soft cloth MOISTENED with clean water.
4.Bloomfield brewers should never become heavily soiled. However, if heavy cleaning IS required, use only
a.DO NOT use any cleanser listed as “chlorinated”.
b.DO NOT use any cleanser listing “ammonia” or “ammonium” in its contents.
c.Contact your cleaning materials supplier for suitable alkaline cleansers.
DESCALING AND DELIMING
1.In areas where tap water has a high mineral content, brewer heating elements and tanks may develop lime deposits.
2.Regular cleaning with a coffee brewer deliming cleaner is recommended to prevent the
