4.1 Daily Checks and Services
Inspect Rethermalizer and Accessories for Damage
Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in cookpot or inside cabinet, and
any other indications that the rethermalizer and accessories are not ready and safe for operation.
Clean Cabinet Inside and Out
Clean inside the cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components
to remove accumulations of oil, dust, or cooking residue.
Clean the outside of the cabinet with a clean cloth dampened with dishwashing detergent, removing
oil, dust, or cooking residue.
DANGER
Never attempt to clean rethermalizer during the rethermalizing process or when the
cookpot is filled with hot water and/or food products.
CAUTION
Do not use deliming solution to clean these units. Use of deliming solution will

equivalent nylon pad may be used to scrub away any accumulated mineral deposits.
FBR18 & FBRA18 Units: Clean the temperature probe, located on the lower front centerline of
the cookpot, using a small bottlebrush wet with a solution of detergent and water.
Using a Scotchbrite™ or similar abrasive pad and a solution of detergent and water, clean the inside
