REACH-INS & ROLL-INS

LOADING AND STORING PRODUCT

When loading your cabinet, place a layer of ice in the drawer

pan first, then add a layer of food product, and then add another

layer of ice. Repeat this pattern until product is at least 1” from

the top of the pan, and then add a final layer of ice to cover

the product. Throughout the day, fresh ice should be added to

always keep the product covered. Periodically check the drain

tube at the back of the drawer pan and remove any debris, which

could allow excess water to accumulate in the pan. Cabinet tem-

perature can be adjusted to approximately 36°F (2°C), to prevent

the ice from melting too quickly.

Fish should be stored at temperatures as close to 32°F (0°C) as

possible and should never exceed 39°F (4°C). Food product that

has been packed in ice must not be kept in the drawers over-

night, as this can allow for elevated temperatures and excessive

thawing, which will quickly degrade product quality. Always fol-

low proper procedures for handling, storing, thawing and cook-

ing any type of food, to eliminate potential for any contamination

or bacteria growth.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

In addition to normal cleaning, (see Periodic Cleaning

Procedure) the entire interior of your Fish File, including the

drawers and storage pans, must be thoroughly cleaned and

sanitized daily, to prevent excessive build-up of food residue,

which can cause unpleasant odors and potentially unsanitary

conditions. At the end of each day, remove any remaining food

product from the drawers and move it to suitable refrigerated

storage, or discard it.

Lift each food pan up and out of the drawer frame, being careful

not to damage the drain tube. Run the pans through a dishwash-

er, or properly clean and sanitize them manually. Remove each

drawer assembly by pulling it out of the cabinet, until the front

roller wheels stop against the front of the slides. Lift up the front

of the drawer, so the wheels come up and out of the slide tracks.

Pull the drawer further out, until the rear wheels stop against

the front of the slides. Lift the drawer again, so the back wheels

clear the drawer slides. Thoroughly wash the drawer frame

and components properly (see Care and Cleaning of Stainless

Steel). Carefully wash the drawer gaskets thoroughly with clean

water, dry them and check for any damage. To re-install the

drawers and pans, reverse the above procedure.

NOTE: On 2-section Fish Files, pans must be installed

with drain toward the outside cabinet wall, so the drain

tube is directly aver the drain trough.
