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 lm that covers the
steel surface, acting as a shield against corro-
sion. If the lm is intact and not contaminated, the
metal is passive and stainless. If the passive lm
of stainless steel has been broken, equipment can
start to corrode and rust.
The following materials or processes can break
down stainless steel’s passive layers and allow
corrosion to occur:
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 more options of non-chloride clean-
ers to consumers. If you are not sure of chloride
content in the cleaner being used, contact your
cleaner supplier. If your cleaner contains chlorides,
ask your supplier for an alternative. Avoid clean-
ers containing quaternary salt; it also can attack
stainless steel and cause pitting and rusting.
Keep food equipment clean. Use alkaline, alka-
line 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 wip-
ing equipment down, allow it to air dry. Oxygen
helps maintain the stainless steel passive lm.
Cleaning the Cabinet Interior/Exterior
NOTICE
NEVER use hydrochloric acid
(muriatic acid) on stainless steel. Do not use abra-
sive cleansers or cloths on any interior or exterior
surfaces or removable parts.
Glass panels may be cleaned using any standard
glass cleaner available on the market.
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, controllers, fan motors and unnished
wood wine rack faces.

WARNING
When performing any ser-
vice or repair work, all wiring and cabling should
be inspected to ensure that it will not be subject
to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration,
sharp edges, or any other adverse environmental
effects. This inspection shall also take into account
the effects of aging or continual vibration from
sources such as compressors or fans.
Leak Detection of Flammable Refrigerants
DANGER
Under no circumstances shall
a potential sources of ignition be used in search-
ing for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide
torch (or any other detector using a naked ame)
shall not be used.
The following leak detection methods are permis-
sible with ammable refrigerants:
•
Electronic leak detectors that have adequate
sensitivity and are calibrated. Ensure the elec-
tronic leak detector is suitable for being used
with ammable refrigerants and are set at the
appropriate LFL for R600a.
• Soap and bubble method.
If a leak is suspected, all naked ames shall be
removed and/or extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires
brazing, all refrigerant shall be recovered from the
system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves)
in a part of the system remote from the leak.
Refrigerant Removal & System Evacuation
DANGER
When breaking into the refrig-
erant circuit to make repairs it is important that
best repair practices are always followed due to
the ammability of the refrigerant. The following
procedure shall be adhered to:
a.
Safely remove refrigerant following local
and national regulations
b. Purge the circuit with inert gas
c. Evacuate
d. Purge with inert gas
e. Open the circuit by cutting or brazing
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the
correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed
by local and national codes. The system shall be
purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the
appliance safe for ammable refrigerants. This
process might need to be repeated several times.
Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for
purging refrigerant systems.
Refrigerant purging is achieved by breaking the
vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen
and continuing to ll until the working pressure is
achieved. The gas is then vented into the atmo-
sphere, and nally pulling down to a vacuum. This
process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is
within the system. When the nal oxygen-free
nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be
vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable
work to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not
close to any potential ignition sources and that
ventilation is available.
Recovery Of Flammable Refrigerants
DANGER
When removing refrigerant
from a system, either for servicing or decom-
missioning, it is recommended good practice that
all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders,
ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery
cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct
number of cylinders for holding the total system
charge is available. All cylinders to be used are
designated for the recovered refrigerant and
labelled for that refrigerant (i.e., special cylinders
for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be
complete with pressure-relief valve and associ-
ated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty
recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible,
cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working
order with a set of instructions concerning the
equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for
the recovery of all appropriate refrigerants includ-
ing, when applicable, Flammable Refrigerants.

are recovered safely. Prior to the task being
carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall
be taken in case analysis is required prior to
re-use of recovered refrigerant. It is essential
that electrical power is available before the task
commences.
•
The recovery equipment shall be in good work-
ing order with a set of instructions concerning
the equipment that is at hand and shall be suit-
able for the recovery of ammable refrigerants.
In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales
shall be available and in good working order.
Hoses shall be complete with leak-free discon-
nect couplings and in good operating condition.
Before using the recovery machine, check that
it is in satisfactory working order, has been
properly maintained and that any associated
electrical components are sealed to prevent
ignition in the event of a refrigerant release.
Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
• Before refrigerant recovery, ensure that:
○
Mechanical handling equipment is available,
if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders.
○
All personal protective equipment is avail-
able and being used correctly.
○ Isolate the system electrically.
○
The recovery process is always supervised
by a competent person.
○
Recovery equipment and cylinders conform
to the appropriate standards.
•
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders,
ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recov-
ery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the
cylinder is sized correctly to hold the entire
refrigerant charge. All cylinders to be used are
designated for the recovered refrigerant and
labeled for that refrigerant (i.e., special cylin-
ders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders
shall be complete with pressure-relief valve
and associated shut-off valves in good working
order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated
and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
•
Even after refrigerant recovery, some residual
refrigerant can be left entrained with the refrig-
erant oil. Cut out the compressor and drain
and dispose of the compressor oil. Compressor
oils are to be removed, ensure that they have
been evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that ammable refrigerant does not
remain within the lubricant. Dispose of com-
pressor and compressor oil in compliance with
national, state, and local codes and regulations.
•
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to
the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery
cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note
arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery
units and especially not in cylinders.
•
All doors and drawers of the unit being dis-
posed must be completely removed from the
unit to avoid the risk of child entrapment. Leave
shelving in place so children cannot easily
climb inside.
•
Disposal of this product shall be in compliance
with all federal, state, and local regulations.
Labeling
Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has
been decommissioned and emptied of refrigerant.
The label shall be dated and signed. For appli-
ances containing ammable refrigerant, ensure
that there are labels on the equipment stating the
equipment contains ammable refrigerant.
