MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: DO NOT use any abrasive clean- ing materials or water spray. Wipe clean only. Cleaning with a water hose or pressurized steam cleaning equipment voids the oven warranty.

I. MAINTENANCE - DAILY

A. Exterior

Everyday, clean the outside of the oven using a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent. Rinse by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with clear water. Wipe dry.

B. Fans and Grills

1.Clean the two fan grills (Figure 4-1) on the rear of each oven DAILY. Also, clean the grills for cooling air exhaust: one located on top of an upper oven, and one located beneath the front of a lower oven. Clean these grills with a stiff, nylon-type brush.

2.Check the air intake of the cooling fans DAILY. The best time to check is right after starting the oven. IF THE FAN(S) ARE NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY, THEY MUST BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. Serious damage could be done to the blower motors and/ or the solid-state electrical components. When a fan fails, the end panel must be removed as a temporary solution. CAUTION: This is only a temporary solution. Oven damage may still occur while a fan remains unrepaired.

3.Clean the ventilating hood air filters.
