Why this chemical earns its place
This is the cleaner side of Rational's iCareSystem, supplied as cartridges rather than bottles. The cartridge loads into the AutoDose unit and the oven draws what it needs when a cleaning programme runs, so nobody measures, dilutes or decants anything. That matters most at the end of service, when the oven is still warm, the kitchen is tired and the alternative is a chef pouring chemical into a hot chamber by hand. It works only in an iCombi Pro fitted with the AutoDose unit — an oven without that unit has nowhere to put it.
Six cartridges to a box gives a working kitchen a run of cleans before anyone has to think about reordering, and 56.01.912 is the number to quote when they do. Rational describes the cartridge as safe to handle: it stays sealed from the box to the machine, so the chemical only ever meets the oven. The format also cuts plastic waste against bottled equivalents, which is worth something on a site that cleans its ovens nightly and has to account for what goes in the bin.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
