Ice-O-Matic EF Series ユーザーズマニュアル

 

 
Commercial grades of stainless steel are susceptible to rusting.  It is important that you 
properly care for the stainless steel surfaces of your ice machine and bin to avoid the 
possibility of rust or corrosion.  Use the following recommended guidelines for keeping your 
stainless steel looking like new: 
 
1.  Clean the stainless steel thoroughly once a week.  Clean frequently to avoid build-up 
of hard, stubborn stains.  Also, hard water stains left to sit can weaken the steel's corrosion 
resistance and lead to rust.  Use a nonabrasive cloth or sponge, working with, not across, the 
grain. 
 
2. Don't use abrasive tools to clean the steel surface.  Do not use steel wool, abrasive 
sponge pads, wire brushes or scrapers to clean the steel.  Such tools can break through the 
"passivation" layer  - the thin layer on the surface of stainless steel that protects it from 
corrosion.   
 
3. Don't use cleaners that use chlorine or chlorides.   Don't use chlorine bleach or 
products like Comet to clean the steel.  Chlorides break down the passivation layer and can 
cause rusting. 
 
4. Rinse with clean water.  If chlorinated cleansers are used, you must thoroughly rinse the 
surface with clean water and wipe dry immediately. 
 
5. Use the right cleaning agent.  The table below lists the recommended cleaning agents 
for common stainless steel cleaning problems:
