Rational : new chemical cleaner and intelligent cleaning system help operators keep green.

'The iCombi Pro includes a range of significant technological improvements designed to help operators improve their environmental sustainability,' says Trevor Lath, National Service Director for Rational. 'However, environmental protection cannot be at the expense of hygiene. As with any commercial catering equipment, the daily cleaning routine is an important part of the regular care and maintenance schedule. The combination of the new, 'green' chemicals formula, and the carefully calibrated iCareSystem, has helped us create our most efficient and eco-friendly combi steamer cleaning system to date.

'The iCareSystem's intelligence uses only as much cleaning chemical as is absolutely necessary. It's gentle on the environment and at the same time guarantees a perfectly maintained cooking system.'

Alongside its powerful cleaning programs the iCareSystem offers two particularly environment-friendly functions. The first is an ultra-fast 12 minute cleaning cycle that helps to keep downtime during the day to a minimum, without compromising on hygiene. The second is the Eco mode, which uses less water and chemicals but takes longer than the standard programs. The iCareSystem allows operators to schedule the Eco mode to run overnight, helping reduce costs even more while guaranteeing that the iCombi Pro is ready to go when staff arrive in the morning.
