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.
