However, with the outbreak of Covid-19 and the following closure of the hospitality industry, the majority of us are in unknown territory. Only a matter of days ago it wouldn\u2019t have crossed our minds to think about turning our kitchen equipment off for more than a few hours, let alone weeks. With this in mind, we have created a quick reference guide for you to follow so you can effectively shut down your commercial glasswashers, undercounter dishwashers and hood dishwashers. Making sure you have a clean and fully functioning warewasher when we all get back to normal.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">Look to vent and remove any chemicals connected your warewashers. Try to flush chemical hoses with clean water to prevent the deterioration of the supply tubes<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Drain your dishwasher and glasswasher fully<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Wipe the wash tank and chamber clean and make sure it is free from any food debris<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Remove all filters, wash and rinse arms and racks and make sure they are cleaned thoroughly<\/li>\n<li>Use a suitable sanitiser or warm soapy water and wipe dry afterwards<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Water softener salt containers should be topped up and any salt residue wiped away from the chamber to avoid corrosion<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Leave doors and hoods ajar to allow ventilation of the warewasher<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Isolate the machine from the electrical and water supply<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">If possible, aim to run the machine on a weekly basis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">These simple steps should ensure your machine stays in great shape and is ready for action when you reopen.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>If you have any questions or need any further advice, please get in contact.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Phone: 01582 865050<\/p>\n<p>Email:\u00a0info@eco-catering-equipment.co.uk<\/p>\n<p>Web: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eco-catering-equipment.co.uk\/\">https:\/\/www.eco-catering-equipment.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instagram: @eco_catering_equipment<\/p>\n<p>Twitter: @eco_catering<\/p>\n<p>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Eco-Catering-Equipment-212549602109241\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Eco-Catering-Equipment-212549602109241\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The longterm shut down of your warewash equipment is not something any of us would have given much thought to.
