CLEANING THE TOP DUCT
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH INDICATING THAT THE MACHINE IS BEING WORKED ON BEFORE YOU BEGIN CLEANING.
Debris and airborne particles will settle on the Top Covers and the surfaces inside the Top Duct. The Top Duct should be cleaned about every two weeks, as appropriate for your location. There are two handles on each Top Cover so they can be lifted or moved to access the inside of the Top Duct for cleaning (Fig. 28).
Before draining and cleaning the machine, perform the following cleaning task. Use an appropriate ladder and both hands to remove each Top Cover. Clean inside the Top Duct with mild detergent / warm water solution and brush, cloth, or sponge. Clean the Top Duct from the UNLOAD END of the machine towards the LOAD END. If necessary, the Top Duct may be hosed down. Rinse with clean water. Clean both sides of the Top Covers individually while they are removed. After cleaning the Top Duct and the Top Covers, replace each Top Cover in its correct location.
After cleaning the Top Duct, drain and clean the dishwasher as discussed on pages 5 and 6.

CLEANING THE BLOWER-DRYER AIR FILTER
Some steam operated blower dryers are equipped with a removable air filter (Fig. 29). At least twice each month, the air filter should be removed and cleaned in a sink with warm soapy water and hosed off with clean water. The air filter can be washed in the dishwasher and flushed with clean water after washing. Replacement air filters are available — contact Hobart service.
