DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES

1. Tray rack assembly is easily removed, without tools. Lift up rack assembly from the bottom and off of rack pins that are at the bottom of the cabinet. Angle rack to slide off the upper pins. To reinstall, reverse the procedure, starting with attaching the uprights to the pins at the top of the cabinet. Lift up rack and the rack in to fit over the bottom pins.
2. To clean stainless steel surfaces, use only cleansers, detergents, degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to the chloride-free and phosphate- free, and only in recommended concentrations or mixing ratios. After cleaning and sanitizing, rinse all exposed surfaces thoroughly with large amounts of clear water. Wipe off any standing liquid or residue from all horizontal surfaces in corners, or near edges. DO NOT TIP CART ONTO DOORS to drain excess water. Use drain(s) at bottom of cabinet to drain excess water.
3. Vinyl trim, if present, should be washed with a chlorine-free detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow to dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish or substances containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol. Caution: when using solvents, it is essential that proper precautionary measures be observed. Refer to solvent manufacturer’s instructions. Use of direct steam/hot water cleaning at temperatures above 190°F may result in bubbling or loosening of vinyl adhesive.

CAUTION: Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that contain chlorides or phosphates will cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. The damage appears as pits, eruptions, voids, small holes, cracks, severe discoloration, or dulling of the metal finish. Water with high chloride content can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water quality, we recommend you have it tested.
Use of cleaning agents that are not recommended for stainless steel may cause permanent damage to the cabinet. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

OPERATION

1. For best results, insert loaded trays in cart as quickly as possible. Doors should be opened only when necessary in order to keep food at proper temperature and prevent contamination of foods from outside sources.
2. A magnetic catch for each door, is located on the side of the cart for loading and unloading. The door will rotate 270° and lie flat on the side of the cart.
3. Take care to avoid bumping carts into doors, walls and other obstructions.

CHANGING THE RACK LOCATION

The tray racks are adjustable to accommodate various tray dimensions, by relocating the pin positions at the top and bottom of the cart. There are three pin positions for each rack.

1. Remove the racks from the cart
2. Determine the width required for your tray
3. Using a screwdriver, pry off the black plastic plugs (4) over the holes (4) for the spacing you need.
4. Using a wrench, unscrew the pins and move them to the desired positions and screw into the new positions.
5. Replace the plastic plug into the now vacant unused holes.

CAUTION
Do not move cabinet unless door is securely closed. Serious damage to hinges and door may result if bumped into tables, walls, or other equipment when the doors are open.

CAUTION: Use only OEM original equipment manufacturer replacement parts. Using unauthorized parts may cause serious injury. Replacement parts should be installed by a qualified service technician.

MAINTENANCE

CASTERS
Some cabinets may have caster bearings that are equipped with Zerk grease fittings so that they may be easily lubricated with a grease gun. Lubricate bearings at least once every six months. It is recommended that FM Glacier Grease be used on Performance Series patient tray carts (Carter-Hoffmann Part Number 18301- 0004; 14 oz. tube) Lubrication will be required more often if cabinet is cleaned with a hot water or steam cleaning system. Casters with special sealed bearings are recommended for frequent cart wash or steam cleaning systems.
LATCHES & HINGES
Make sure all joints remain sealed and door latches do not stick. If necessary, use WD-40, silicone spray, graphite or other commercial lubricants for aluminum products, to keep door latches & hinges from sticking. Do not use oil.
PERIMETER BUMPERS
Vinyl which has been dislodged from the channel due to severe bumping or scraping can be pried back into place with a common screwdriver.
DOORS
Never tip cart forward or open doors to drain water during or after washing. This can cause serious damage to hinges doors and latches.
