4.1Daily Checks and Services

Inspect Cooking System and Accessories for Damage

Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in cookpot or inside cabinet, and any other indications that the rethermalizer and accessories are not ready and safe for operation.

Clean Cabinet Inside and Out

Clean inside the cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components to remove accumulations of oil, dust, or cooking residue.

Clean the outside of the cabinet with a clean cloth dampened with dishwashing detergent, removing oil, dust, or cooking residue.

DANGER

Never attempt to clean this equipment during the rethermalizing/cooking process or when the cookpot is filled with hot water and/or food products.

Clean Float Switch Assemblies, Vat

Press the computer power switch to the OFF position. Clean the float switches with a solution of detergent and warm water. A Scotchbrite™ or equivalent nylon pad may be used to scrub away any accumulated mineral deposits. Verify that both floats move freely up and down on the rod. Using a Scotchbrite™ or similar abrasive pad and a solution of detergent and warm water, clean the inside of the vat, paying particular attention to the elements.

Rinse the vat thoroughly with clean water at least twice.
