GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the utensil washer clean to provide best results. Do not allow foreign objects to enter the unit,
especially metallic contaminants.
Do not wash aluminum utensils in the utensil washer. The caustic detergent and high water temperature
will cause aluminum oxide formation (black). Copper utensils may require polishing to remove oxide
formation after exposure to utensil washer cleaning for a period of time. Stainless steel utensils should
clean quickly and easily if the food soil is not baked on.
It may be necessary to scrub or prewash some hard-to-remove substances which may not come clean
in the utensil washer with even a 6-minute washing. For stubborn food soil, a plastic scraper, plastic
abrasive pad, nylon bristle brush or sponge with abrasive surface (Scotch Brite) may be used before
washing in the utensil washer. Never use steel wool on ware to be loaded into the utensil washer. Use
only products formulated to be safe on stainless steel. Rinse items thoroughly after scrubbing to remove
metallic debris.
CLEANING THE UTENSIL WASHER
Disconnect electrical power supply and follow lockout / tagout procedures.
The utensil washer must be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each working shift or at least daily. Never
use steel wool to clean utensil washer surfaces.
