Thank you for choosing Atlas Metal. A little routine care will help your cold pan, ice chest or water station perform properly, protect its stainless steel finish and preserve your warranty coverage.
Before First Use
Before installing or operating your equipment, please read the service and installation manual completely. When receiving the unit, inspect the shipping crate and all components right away. If damage is visible or concealed, notify the carrier and request an inspection within 10 days of receipt. Be sure to save all crating materials until the inspection has been completed or waived.
Daily Cleaning Instructions
After use, clean pans with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap and residue, then dry completely before the unit is returned to service or stored.
To protect the stainless steel finish, do not use:
- Chloride-based cleaners
- All-purpose cleaners
- Bleach
- Acidic cleaners
- Vinegar-based products
- Steel wool
- Abrasive pads or abrasive cleaning products
Improper cleaners can scar, mark or corrode the pans, and failure to follow these cleaning instructions may void the warranty.
Operating Reminder
Your unit is ready to operate once properly installed and should remain level to allow for proper draining. Ice cold pans are supplied with a nipple and stop valve for draining, while ice chests and water stations include drain connections for draining and cleaning purposes.
Sealant Maintenance
Depending on the unit’s environment, usage and maintenance, periodic review and reapplication of silicone around the wells may be recommended. This helps keep the unit properly sealed and helps prevent steam or moisture intrusion during use. Any sealant used should meet the requirements for the intended use zone and be permitted under NSF/ANSI 51.
