The cleanliness and appearance of this
equipment will contribute considerably to
operating efficiency and savory, appetiz-
ing food.  There is an important relation-
ship between cleanliness and food flavor

CLEAN THE HOT & COLD MERCHANDISER
DAILY.

1. Disconnect the merchandiser from its power

source.

another case.

3. Remove the wire shelves, side racks and baffle pan.

Clean these items separately with warm water or 
commercial detergent.  Rinse well with a sanitizing
solution.

4. Remove all loose debris which may clog the drain

in the refrigerated compartment.  Clean the interior
walls of the merchandiser with a damp cloth and
any good alkaline or alkaline chlorinated based
commercial detergent or grease solvent at the rec-
ommended strength.  Use a plastic scouring pad for
difficult areas.  Avoid the use of abrasive cleaning

compounds, chloride based cleaners, or cleaners
containing quaternary salts.  Rinse well to remove
all residue and wipe dry.

hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel.

5. Remove the slide out drain pan underneath the unit, 

empty and wash with warm soapy water or  commer-
cial detergent.

ished stainless steel, clean the exterior of the cabi-
net with a cleaner recommended for stainless steel
surfaces.  Spray the cleaning agent on a cloth and
wipe with the grain of the stainless steel.

soapy water or in the dishwasher.  Always replace
gasket before operating the merchandiser.
