CLEANING

Southbend equipment is constructed with the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable service when properly maintained. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the frequency and extent of cleaning depends on the amount and degree of usage.

Following daily and more extensive periodic maintenance procedures will increase the life of your equipment. Climatic conditions (i.e., salt air, seasonings, and water quality) may result in the need for more thorough and more frequent cleaning in order to keep equipment performing at optimal levels.

PERIODIC CLEANING

•If lime or mineral deposit starts to build up in the interior, clean the unit by using Southbend “descaler” or other non-caustic deliming solution. Follow manufacturer’s recommended procedures. Thoroughly rinse out unit with clean water.

•To remove normal dirt, grease, or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any corrosive cleaner.

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
