Housekeeping and Safety Recommendations
Please use caution when inside any walk-in. The floor may become slippery if allowed to become wet or greasy.
To provide user safety, to maintain optimum performance and long life of this product, we recommend regularly
reviewing the following procedures with anyone that may enter the walk-in:
• Keep all walkway surfaces clean and free of spilled liquids and food particles. All aisles must be kept clear for
passage.
• Inspect the condition of the anti-skid strips monthly. Replace or add additional strips as needed.
• Keep door closed to prevent the accumulation of condensation on floor and other surfaces.
• Inspect refrigeration equipment frequently for proper functioning of evaporator drain pans, defrost controls and
drain line heaters.
• Condensate water must never be allowed to drip on the walk-in floor. Refer to the refrigeration instructions for
proper condensate line installation.
• Frost or condensation appearing around the door jamb indicates that the heater cable is inoperative or that the
door gasket may need to be replaced, or that the door has not been properly closed.
• Hinges used on the doors are self closing with a nylon cam and bushing. The hinges are lubricated at the
factory for ease of operation. They should be lubricated every three months with petroleum jelly. Care should
be used to keep dirt and trash out of the hinge.
• To help prevent moisture accumulating in the insulation, be sure to replace missing plug buttons. Additional
buttons are shipped with each order.
Warning! If you observe any abnormal or unsafe conditions, you should
contact your maintenance manager to have this condition corrected.
Cleaning of Stucco Aluminum & Galvalume Plus
The ceiling, walls and floors of Brown walk-ins are covered with a metal finish. Cleaning of this surface can be
accomplished by the use of a mild detergent, warm water and a soft cleaning cloth.
The use of an abrasive type cleaner can scratch the surface of the metal. The use of any form of cleaning agent
that contains any form of acid may cause a discoloring or darkening of the metal finishes. Markings made by felt
tip pens or “Magic Markers” can be removed by use of lacquer thinner, varsol, or naphtha. After using these clean-
ers, wash the space with soap and warm water to remove any chemical residue.

Cleaning of Door Gaskets
Magnetic door gaskets should be cleaned with mild detergents and hot water. Remove all soap film and dry

use acids (hydrochloric or muriatic for example) on door gaskets.
