White water scale is a common build up on hot holding equipment. Citranox, a mild acid detergent, is designed to remove water scale effectively. Using hot water will speed up the cleaning time.
How To Clean:
- Before each cleaning procedure, disconnect appliance from its electrical power source and allow to cool for at least one half hour.
- Place empty pan under drain valve, open valve, and allow evaporator to drain.
- Remove and clean rack supports using a food-grade germicidal agent. Clean probe (if included) with mild soap and water.
- Add warm fresh tap water to the reservoir.
- Mix in 8 oz (227g) of Citranox liquid detergent to the fresh water (assumes average reservoir is 2.5 gal (9.5L) capacity).
- Allow the Citranox solution to soak for 30 minutes to help dissolve scale buildup.
- Dip a cloth in the Citranox solution and wipe inner walls of equipment and areas with high scale buildup. Use a scrub pad for caked-on scale.
- Drain Citranox solution.
- Rinse equipment evaporator and inner walls with fresh tap water.
- Dry thoroughly.
- Repeat daily to prevent scale buildup. Or repeat every 3 days to remove scale buildup.
