SEZ SERIES COUNTERTOP STEAMERS

CLEANING

To remove grease and food splatter or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH- BRITE scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL, as any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PAD, SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces which are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.

SEMIANNUAL CLEANING

At least twice a year, have your Southbend Authorized Service Agency or another qualified service technician clean and adjust the unit for maximum performance. Semiannual cleaning should include the following:

1. Add two gallons of deliming solution through the door into the cavity.

2. Turn unit on, let run for 30 minutes.

3. Turn unit off and drain all solution from the cavity.

4. Fill unit with clean water and drain. Repeat 2 times.
