Se’if 1א׳

יֵשׁ לִזָּהֵר לְהַגְעִיל קֹדֶם שָׁעָה חֲמִישִׁית, כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יִצְטָרֵךְ לְדַקְדֵּק אִם הַכֵּלִים בְּנֵי יוֹמָן אִם לָאו אוֹ אִם יֵשׁ שִׁשִּׁים בַּמַּיִם נֶגֶד כְּלִי שֶׁמַּגְעִיל אוֹ לָאו. (טוּר) וְכֵן אִם מַגְעִיל כֵּלִים שֶׁבְּלִיעָתָן מוּעֶטֶת עִם כֵּלִים שֶׁבְּלִיעָתָן מְרֻבָּה. וְכֵן אִם מַשְׁהֵא הַכֵּלִים בְּתוֹךְ הַיּוֹרָה יוֹתֵר מִדַּאי וְאֵינוֹ מַשְׁהֵא אוֹתָם כָּל כָּךְ. וְכֵן כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יִצְטָרֵךְ לִזָּהֵר שֶׁלֹּא יָנוּחוּ הַמַּיִם מֵרְתִיחָתָן. הַגָּה: אַךְ רַבִּים חוֹלְקִים וּסְבִירָא לְהוּ דְּאֵין הַגְעָלָה מוֹעֶלֶת כְּלוּם אִם אֵין הַמַּיִם רוֹתְחִים (וְכֵן מַשְׁמָע מֵהָרֹא"שׁ וּסְמַ"ג וְת"ה סִימָן קל"א וְאָגוּר וְטוּר בְּסִימָן ק"ה). עַל כֵּן יֵשׁ לִזָּהֵר אֲפִלּוּ קֹדֶם זְמַן אִסּוּרוֹ שֶׁלֹּא יָנוּחוּ מֵרְתִיחָתָן כָּל זְמַן שֶׁמַּגְעִיל (דִּבְרֵי עַצְמוֹ). וְשֶׁלֹּא יַכְנִיס הַכֵּלִים עַד שֶׁיַּרְתִּיחוּ הַמַּיִם. וְכֵן כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יִצְטָרֵךְ לְהַגְעִיל הַיּוֹרָה הַגְּדוֹלָה, שֶׁמַּגְעִילִים בָּהּ, תְּחִלָּה וְסוֹף. הַגָּה: וְאִם לֹא הִגְעִיל קֹדֶם זְמַן אִסּוּרוֹ יָכוֹל לְהַגְעִיל עַד הַפֶּסַח, שֶׁאָז חָמֵץ בְּמַשֶּׁהוּ וְאֵינוֹ מוֹעִיל הַגְעָלָה שֶׁחוֹזֵר וּבוֹלֵעַ. אֲבָל מֻתָּר לְלַבֵּן כְּלִי תּוֹךְ הַפֶּסַח (דִּבְרֵי עַצְמוֹ וּתְשׁוּבַת רַשְׁבָּ"א). וּכְשֶׁמַּגְעִיל קֹדֶם פֶּסַח לְאַחַר שֵׁשׁ צָרִיךְ לִזָּהֵר בְּכָל הַדְּבָרִים הַנִּזְכָּרִים שֶׁאֵין צָרִיךְ לִזָּהֵר בָּהֶן קֹדֶם שֵׁשׁ.

The time for scouring vessels. Containg 7 sections: One should be cautious to scour vessels prior to the fifth hour so that one need not be particular if the vessels have been used in the past day or not (or if [he is scouring with] at least 60 times the volume of the vessel of water or not (Tur) and similarly if one is scouring vessels which have absorbed a small amount of food together with vessels that have absorbed a large amount of food, and similarly if the vessels were left in the vat excessively, or if the vessels were not left [in the vat] sufficiently and similarly so that he need not be concerned that the water ceased boiling. Rema: there are many who dispute this and they would say that no scouring whatsoever was effected if the water ceased boiling (and similarly is evident from the Rosh, the Smag and the T"H in siman 131 and Agur and Tur in siman 105). Based on this, there are those who are cautious, even prior to the time chametz becomes forbidden, so that the water shouldn't cease the boiling during the entire time of scouring (Own words), and [one need not be particular] that he entered the vessel prior to the water boiling and similarly so that he doesn't have to scour the large vat before and after scouring. Rema: and if he didn't scour prior to the beginning of the time when chametz becomes forbidden, he is able to scour until Pesach itself. When there is a minute amount of chametz, scouring doesn't positively affect it because it will return and reabsorb, rather, it is permitted to incandesce a vessel during Pesach. (His own words and Teshuvat Rashba) When one is scouring after the sixth hour but prior to Pesach one must be cautious regarding all of the information described [above] whereas it is not necessary to be cautious prior to the sixth hour.

Se’if 2ב׳

יֵשׁ לִזָּהֵר מִלְּהַגְעִיל כְּלֵי הַבָּשָׂר וּכְלֵי חָלָב בְּיַחַד, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן אֶחָד מֵהֶם אֵינוֹ בֶּן יוֹמוֹ. וְכָל שֶׁכֵּן כְּלִי שֶׁל אִסּוּר; עַל כֵּן נָהֲגוּ שֶׁלֹּא לְהַגְעִיל שׁוּם כְּלִי בֶּן יוֹמוֹ.

One should be cautious when scouring a meat vessel and a dairy vessel together unless one of them was not used in the past day. (And certainly regarding a forbidden food vessel and based on this, it is customary to not scour vessels which have been used in the past day.)

Se’if 3ג׳

לֹא יַנִּיחַ כֵּלִים הַרְבֵּה לְתוֹךְ כְּלִי וְיַגְעִילֵם יַחַד אִם נוֹגְעִים זֶה בָּזֶה.

A number of vessels should not be placed inside of a single vessel and then scoured together (if there is contact between them)
