CLEANING  
The Warmer and its  
HEAVY-DUTY CLEANING:  
parts are hot. Be very careful when  
operating, cleaning, or servicing the  
warmer.  
For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm  
water, a degreaser, and a plastic,  
stainless steel, or Scotch-Brite pad.  
Never rub in a circular motion -- rub  
gently in the direction of the steel grain.  
Always rinse thoroughly.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE  
INTERIOR:  
The inside of the Chip Warmer must be  
cleaned each day.  
CLEANING:  
Stainless Steel contains 70 – 80% iron,  
which will rust if not properly maintained.  
Stainless Steel also contains 12 – 30%  
chromium, which forms an invisible  
passive, protective film that shields  
against corrosion.  
1.  
2.  
Unplug electrical power supply.  
Allow warmer to cool before  
cleaning.  
3.  
4.  
Remove Access Panel by  
unlocking the clips.  
If the protective film remains intact, the  
stainless steel will remain intact.  
However, if the film is damaged, the  
stainless steel can break down and rust.  
Place Access Panel away from  
Chip Warmer.  
PREVENTIVE CARE:  
To prevent stainless steel break-  
down, follow these steps:  
5.  
6.  
Remove Top Door.  
Remove all internal Baffles  
through back opening.  
1.  
Never use any metal tools,  
scrapers, files, wire brushes,  
or scouring pads (except for  
stainless steel scouring pads,)  
which will mar the surface.  
7.  
Using a soft, clean cloth, clean  
inside of warmer with a solution  
of mild detergent and warm  
water. Rinse with warm water,  
and wipe dry.  
2.  
3.  
Never use steel wool – which  
will leave behind particles that will  
rust.  
8.  
9.  
Replace Top Door and all internal  
Baffles.  
Never use acid-based or  
chloride containing cleaning  
solutions – which will break  
down the protective film.  
Reattach Access Panel.

VCD SERIES CHIP WARMER  
F-38053 (09-10)  
4.  
5.  
Never rub in a circular motion.  
Always rub gently in the direction  
of the steel grain.  
If signs of breakdown appear, restore  
the stainless steel surface.  
First,  
thoroughly clean, rinse, and dry the  
surface. Then, on a daily basis, apply a  
high-quality stainless steel polish  
according to manufacturer’s instructions.  
Never leave any food products  
or salt on the surface. Many  
foods are acidic. Salt contains  
chloride.  
HEAT TINT:  
Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” may  
appear on stainless steel exposed to  
excessive heat. Excessive heat causes  
the protective film to thicken. This is  
unsightly, but is not a sign of permanent  
damage.  
PRESERVING & RESTORING:  
Special stainless steel polishing  
cleaners can preserve and restore the  
protective film.  
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a  
regular application of a high-quality  
stainless steel polishing cleaner, as a  
final step to daily cleaning.  
To remove heat tint, follow the routine  
cleaning procedure. Stubborn heat tint  
will require heavy-duty cleaning. To  
reduce heat tint, limit the exposure of  
equipment to excessive heat.  
LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURE  
Always perform the LOCKOUT / TAGOUT  
PROCEDURE of your facility before removing any sheet metal  
panels or attempting to service this equipment.  
The Lockout / Tagout Procedure is used to protect personnel working  
on an electrical appliance.  
Before performing any type of  
maintenance or service on an electrically operated appliance, follow  
these steps:  
1.  
2.  
In electrical box, place unit’s circuit breaker into OFF position.  
Place a lock or other device on electrical box cover to prevent someone from  
placing circuit breaker ON.  
3.  
Place a tag on electrical box cover to indicate that unit has been disconnected for  
service and power should not be restored until tag is removed by maintenance  
personnel.  
4.  
5.  
Disconnect unit power cord from electrical outlet.  
Place a tag on cord to indicate that unit has been disconnected for service and  
power should not be restored until tag is removed by maintenance personnel
