OPERATIONS MANUAL
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS
LOADING AND STORING PRODUCT
When loading your cabinet, place a layer of ice in the drawer
pan first, then add a layer of food product, and then add another
layer of ice. Repeat this pattern until product is at least 1” from
the top of the pan, and then add a final layer of ice to cover
the product. Throughout the day, fresh ice should be added to
always keep the product covered. Periodically check the drain
tube at the back of the drawer pan and remove any debris, which
could allow excess water to accumulate in the pan. Cabinet tem-
perature can be adjusted to approximately 36°F (2°C), to prevent
the ice from melting too quickly.
Fish should be stored at temperatures as close to 32°F (0°C) as
possible and should never exceed 39°F (4°C). Food product that
has been packed in ice must not be kept in the drawers over-
night, as this can allow for elevated temperatures and excessive
thawing, which will quickly degrade product quality. Always fol-
low proper procedures for handling, storing, thawing and cook-
ing any type of food, to eliminate potential for any contamination
or bacteria growth.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
In addition to normal cleaning, (see Periodic Cleaning
Procedure) the entire interior of your Fish File, including the
drawers and storage pans, must be thoroughly cleaned and
sanitized daily, to prevent excessive build-up of food residue,
which can cause unpleasant odors and potentially unsanitary
conditions. At the end of each day, remove any remaining food
product from the drawers and move it to suitable refrigerated
storage, or discard it.
Lift each food pan up and out of the drawer frame, being careful
not to damage the drain tube. Run the pans through a dishwash-
er, or properly clean and sanitize them manually. Remove each
drawer assembly by pulling it out of the cabinet, until the front
roller wheels stop against the front of the slides. Lift up the front
of the drawer, so the wheels come up and out of the slide tracks.
Pull the drawer further out, until the rear wheels stop against
the front of the slides. Lift the drawer again, so the back wheels
clear the drawer slides. Thoroughly wash the drawer frame
and components properly (see Care and Cleaning of Stainless
Steel). Carefully wash the drawer gaskets thoroughly with clean
water, dry them and check for any damage. To re-install the
drawers and pans, reverse the above procedure.
NOTE: On 2-section Fish Files, pans must be installed
with drain toward the outside cabinet wall, so the drain
tube is directly aver the drain trough.
