Do not use or store flammable liquids (ie; gasoline) or vapors near the appliance to avoid fire.

Ensure mobile bar is secured to forklift with straps before lifting to prevent tipping which could cause serious injury or death.

Always place mobile bar on level surface and lock casters after moving to desired location to prevent rolling. (Engineering is working on max incline info).

Never move or place mobile bar on a steep incline to prevent tipping.

TIP OVER HAZARD: This product can tip over while transporting. If this hazardous situation is not avoided, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY could occur. To safely transport this product, two people must be used to maintain control while moving. DO NOT exceed incline angles of 15° in any direction. DO NOT exceed walking speed, about 3 mph (5 km/h).

CRUSH HAZARD: This product is heavy and could pose a crush hazard if a loss of control occurs while transporting. If this hazardous situation is not avoided, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY could occur. To safely transport this product, two people must be used to maintain control while moving. APPLY parking brakes with the product stationary on level ground. DO NOT park the cart on un-level ground. DO NOT exceed incline angles of 15° in any direction. DO NOT exceed walking speed, about 3 mph (5 km/h).

BIOLOGICAL AND SLIP HAZARD: This product contains a waste water tank that could backflow or spill waste water, which could pose a biological and slip hazard. If this hazardous situation is not avoided, MINOR or MODERATE INJURY could occur. Empty the waste water tank before it is full to reduce the risk of spills. DO NOT raise the tank above the lowest drain height to avoid backflowing waste water. If a fresh water tank is present, then the waste water tank must be at least 15% larger than the fresh water tank, as supplied by Perlick.

FALLING OBJECT HAZARD: This product is moveable and has surfaces for the placement of objects that could pose a falling object hazard. If this hazardous situation is not avoided, MINOR or MODERATE INJURY could occur. Prior to use, ensure that the cart is parked in a level position. APPLY parking brakes with the product stationary on level ground. DO NOT park the cart on un-level ground. DO NOT place objects on the product while transporting.

PINCH AND CUT HAZARD: This product may have sharp edges or pinch points that could pose a pinch or cut hazard. If this hazardous situation is not avoided, MINOR or MODERATE INJURY could occur.

BURN HAZARD: This product may have a hot water heater that could pose a burn hazard. If this hazardous situation is not avoided, MINOR or MODERATE INJURY could occur. Set water heater temperature at 120°F.

BIOLOGICAL HAZARD: This product may contain a fresh water tank that could pose a biological hazard. If this hazardous situation is not avoided, MINOR or MODERATE INJURY could occur. Fresh water tanks require manual cleaning after each use. Consult with your local health code for cleaning and sanitizing requirements.

If a fork lift is used to lift the mobile bar, extreme care should be taken to avoid damaging the casters.

Ensure hose from ice chest, bottle well, and drainboards are all routed to the grey water tanks supplied with your mobile bar and that they have not become disconnected during shipping.

While your mobile bar is designed to be waterproof and can be used outdoors, prolonged exposure to heavy rain, UV light, extreme temperatures, snow, etc. can cause damage. Bar should be stored indoors after each use.

USE AND CARE OF GREY WATER TANKS

Be sure to empty grey water tanks after each use
Clean tanks with regular dish soap and sanitize with a mild bleach solution after each use and before placing in storage

Prior to first use, Prime pump and heater, refer to the included manuals for those items.

ELECTRICAL

Inspect the electrical cord and plug for damage prior to energizing the unit to avoid potential electric shock.

Use electrical grounding to avoid electrocution or electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. Failure to use grounding may result in death, serious injury, or property damage.

Never use an extension cord to connect the unit to the electrical source. Do not use a two-prong adapter or remove the power cord ground prong. Failure to use grounding may result in death, serious injury, or property damage.

Using any voltage other than specified will result in serious damage to the unit.

Task lighting is intended for lighting bar equipment only, and should not be relied upon for lighting any surrounding environment.

Maintenance

Shut off the electricity to the unit before cleaning and other routine maintenance.

NEVER use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel. Do not use abrasive cleansers or cloths on any interior or exterior surfaces or removeable parts.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE & CLEANING

General
Stainless steel is a “passive” metal because it contains other metals like chromium, nickel and manganese that stabilize the atoms. Chromium provides an invisible passive film that covers the steel surface, acting as a shield against corrosion. As long as the film is intact and not contaminated, the metal is passive and stainless. If the passive film of stainless steel has been broken, equipment can start to corrode and rust.

Three materials or processes can break down stainless steel’s passive layer and allow corrosion to occur:

Mechanical abrasion
Deposits and water
Chlorides

Mechanical abrasion refers to items that will scratch a steel surface. Steel pads, wire brushes and scrapers are prime examples.

Water comes out of the faucet in varying degrees of hardness. Hard water may leave spots. When allowed to sit, these deposits will break down the passive chromium layer and rust stainless steel. Other deposits from food preparation must be promptly removed with an appropriate cleaning agent.

Chlorides are found nearly everywhere. They are in water, food and table salt. Household and industrial cleaners are the worst offenders.

Preventing Stainless Steel Rust
Use non-abrasive tools to clean stainless steel products. Soft cloths and plastic scouring pads will not harm the steel’s passive layer.

Clean with polish lines. Some stainless steels have visible polishing lines or “grain”. When visible lines are present, always scrub in a motion parallel to the lines. When the grain cannot be seen, polish in a consistent straight pattern and not in a circular motion.

Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners. While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever-increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of chloride content in the cleaner being used, contact your cleaner supplier. If your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask your supplier for an alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salt; it also can attack stainless steel and cause pitting and rusting. Keep food equipment clean. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride cleaners at recommended strength. Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard, stubborn stains. The single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Remember, adding heat to cleaners that contain chlorides dramatically increases their effect on stainless steel.

If chlorinated cleaners are used, immediately rinse and wipe equipment and supplies dry. The sooner you wipe standing water, especially when it contains cleaning agents, the better. After wiping equipment down, allow it to air dry. Oxygen helps maintain the stainless steel passive film.

To clean interior and exterior non-metallic surfaces and removable parts, wash with mild solution of soap and lukewarm water with a little baking soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on the lights.

LAMINATE OR ENGINEERED SOLID SURFACE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

General
Everyday cleaning of laminate exterior and bar tops, as well as Engineered Solid Surface bar tops, is as simple as a quick wipe with a damp sponge. All resist muddy fingerprints, coffee spills and so much more. Be sure to read and follow the recommended care and cleaning procedures.

ROUTINE CARE

To clean the surface, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry. Difficult stains such as coffee or tea can be removed using a mild household cleaner/detergent and a soft bristled brush, repeating as necessary. If a stain persists, use a paste of baking soda and water and apply with a soft bristled brush. Light scrubbing for 10 to 20 strokes should remove most stains. Although baking soda is a low abrasive, excessive scrubbing or exerting too much force could damage the decorative surface, especially if it has a gloss finish. Stubborn stains that resist any of the above cleaning methods may require the use of undiluted household bleach or nail polish remover. Apply the bleach or nail polish remover to the stain and let stand no longer than two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry. This step may be repeated if the stain appears to be going away and the color of the laminate has not been affected.

Prolonged exposure of the laminate or engineered solid surface to bleach will cause discoloration. Hot pans and heat-producing appliances (such as electric skillets), when set directly upon countertops, can mar the product’s beauty. Always use a heat shield, hot pad or trivet.
