CARE AND CLEANING

The oven is fabricated with an easy to clean porcelain enamel interior or an optional stainless steel interior.

NOTE: Always allow the oven to cool before cleaning. If the oven is hot, allow the interior surfaces to become cool to the touch by opening the oven doors and engaging the cool-down function.

CLEAN THE OVEN ON A DAILY BASIS

1.After the oven has cooled, remove all detachable items such as wire shelves, side racks, and drip pan. Clean these items separately.

2.Remove any food scraps from shelves, shelf supports, and blower fan wheel. Convection baffle openings must be kept clear of food scraps and grease.

3.Wipe the interior metal surfaces of the oven with a paper towel to remove any remaining food debris.

4.Clean interior with a damp cloth or sponge and any good commercial detergent at the recommended strength.

5.For baked-on food deposits, use a non-caustic and non-toxic commercial oven cleaner appropriate for the interior oven surface of your oven. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions carefully for the use of this product. Any commercial oven cleaner must be approved for use on food contact areas. Remove soil with the use of a plastic scouring pad.

6. Wipe door gaskets thoroughly since these areas harbor food debris and grease.

7. Rinse surfaces by wiping with

a clean cloth or sponge and clean warm water.

8.Remove excess water with a sponge

and wipe dry with a clean cloth or air dry. Leave doors open until interior is completely dry. Replace side racks and shelves.

Always follow appropriate state or local health (hygiene) regulations regarding all applicable cleaning and sanitation requirements for food service equipment.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING COMPOUNDS.

Completely avoid the use of abrasive cleaning compounds, chloride-based cleaners, or cleaners containing quaternary salts. To protect metal finish on stainless steel, never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid).

MOTOR CARE

The convection oven motor contains self- lubricating, sealed ball bearings and is generally maintenance-free. During operation, the interior of the motor is cooled by air flowing into the rear of the motor case. This is a general operating feature when proper clearances have been allowed.
