Cleaning and Maintenance
GENERAL
New units are wiped clean at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease remaining from the man- ufacturing process. They should be washed thoroughly with hot soapy water to remove any installation dust or debris before being used for food preparation. Also wash any accessories shipped with the Tandoor.
Any piece of equipment works better and last longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Tandoor is no exception. The Tandoor must be kept clean during the working day and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day.
DAILY CLEANING
During the day, all stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. At the end of each day, a liquid cleaner designed for this material should be used. Remove and thoroughly clean drip pan.
The Tandoor should be checked and adjusted periodically by a qualified service personnel as part of a regular kitchen maintenance program. This service should include the removal of any built up grease in control boxes.
CAUTION: Do not use steel wool, abrasives clothes, cleansers, or powders. If it is necessary to scrape stain- less steel to remove encrusted material, soak the area with hot cloths to loosen the material then use a wood or nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches made by these types of instruments are difficult to remove.
