GENERAL USE AND CARE

KEEP IT DRY

While all equipment must be cleaned regularly, it
is important that water not be introduced into the
interior. Water will degrade insulation, damage
equipment components and create an electric
shock hazard.

1.    Never submerge brewers, airpots or servers in
       water unless it is specifically stated in the
       Owners Manual that it is safe to do so.

2.    Do not use a hose or jet stream to wash
       equipment, or to wash over, under or around
       equipment. Bloomfield brewers are not jet
       stream approved.

3. Do not spill, pour or spray water onto or over

any warmers, wiring, controls or control panel.

CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL

1.    Bloomfield brewers are constructed of high
       quality stainless steel,  As long as the
       stainless steel surface is intact, the equipment
       will not rust or corrode.

2.    The surface can be damaged by mechanical
       abrasion, hard water deposits and chlorine:
       a.    NEVER use steel wool, wire brushes or

              metal scrapers to clean the equipment.
              These will damage the surface of the
              stainless steel.
       b.    Hard water deposits left behind when
              water is evaporated can damage the
              surface.
       c.     Chlorides from chlorinated cleansers,
              calcium/lime/rust removers (e.g. muriatic
              acid), even heavily chlorinated city water
              can attack the surface and allow the
              stainless steel to rust.
     d.    DO NOT use any highly caustic cleaners

              on equipment. Use of highly caustic
              cleaners will attack the surface and allow
              the stainless steel to rust.
     e.    LIMIT USE of strong caustic cleaners on

              equipment. Rinse thoroughly with a
              vinegar and water solution to neutralize
              any residue. Failure to do so may cause
              damage to the surface and allow the
              stainless steel to rust.
       f.     Cleansers containing ammonia will attack
              the surface and allow the stainless steel to
              rust.

3.    Use the proper tools in the proper way to
       clean your Bloomfield equipment:
       a.    Soft cloth and plastic scouring pads are
              generally safe to use on stainless steel.
       b.    Stainless steel pads may be used ONLY
              IF the scrubbing motion is in the direction
              of the visible grain.  DO NOT use a

              circular motion.
       c.     In the absence of visible grain, use only
              soft cloth or plastic pads.  Scrub only in a
              linear motion along the longest axis of the
              equipment.
       d.    Daily cleaning should be performed with a
              clean, soft cloth MOISTENED with water
              and mild detergent, and rinsed with a
              clean, soft cloth MOISTENED with clean
              water.

4.    Bloomfield brewers should never become
       heavily soiled.  However, if heavy cleaning
       IS required, use only non-chloride and non-
       ammonia cleansers:
       a.    DO NOT use any cleanser listed as

“chlorinated”.
b. DO NOT use any cleanser listing

              “ammonia” or “ammonium” in its contents.
       c.     Contact your cleaning materials supplier
              for suitable alkaline cleansers.

DESCALING AND DELIMING

1.    In areas where tap water has a high mineral
       content, brewer heating elements and tanks
       may develop lime deposits.

2.    Regular cleaning with a coffee brewer
       deliming cleaner is recommended to prevent
       the build-up of lime and scale deposits.

       Recommendation:  A water softening device
       or a cartridge-type filtration device may be
       used to minimize lime build-up.
