2.15 Chemical and Cleaning Cautions
▲ Wear protective clothing and eye protection when handling caustic chemicals!
▲ Always observe the chemical manufacturer’s precautions, warnings, and usage recommendations!
▲ Store all chemicals in a location protected from freezing, unauthorized access, and direct sunlight.
▲ Wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and aprons when handling chemicals.
▲ Follow all instructions, warnings, and health hazard information provided by chemical manufacturer.
▲ Request a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each cleaning chemical in use. Keep
these readily available and be familiar with the first aid instructions and emergency contacts in case
of a chemical accident or spill.
▲ Keep all chemicals out of reach of children.
▲ Only use cleaning solutions and materials specifically recommended for stainless steel and approved
for food handling equipment.
▲ Never use more chemical than called for by the chemical manufacturer’s instructions. Excessive use
of cleaning chemicals can corrode and cause permanent damage to the stainless steel.
▲ Do not sanitize your milk cooler with solutions containing in excess of 200 parts per million of
chlorine. This can cause permanent damage and corrosion to the stainless steel.
▲ Never mix any chlorine containing compounds with acid. This can result in damage to the stainless
steel and can generate a hazardous gas dangerous to your health.
▲ Never wash the milk cooler with water temperatures exceeding 170°F (76.6°C).
▲ Never allow tools, clamps, or other wet objects to lie on the surface of the milk cooler.
▲ Keep all surfaces of the milk cooler clean.
▲ Never use abrasive materials on the stainless steel.
▲ Never put cleaning chemicals in an empty milk cooler. Always have
water in the cooler first for proper chemical dilution.
▲ The milk cooler’s vent assembly must be in place at all times. This milk
cooler is not designed for pressure or vacuum applications. Severe damage
can occur if not properly ventilated.
▲ Before entering the milk cooler, disconnect power to the agitator, remove and
retain manway cover latch, and remove footwear that could scratch the stainless
steel. An additional person must be present for safety purposes during confined entry.
▲ Always open manway cover for additional venting while the milk cooler is
being emptied.
▲ Inspect the milk cooler ladder hardware on a regular basis. Never climb a ladder
which is in need of repair.
