CLEANING

Southbend equipment is sturdily constructed of the best materials and is designed to provide durable

service when treated with ordinary care. To expect the best performance, your equipm ent must be

maintained in good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the periods for this care and cleani ng depend on

the amount and degree of usage.

Following daily and periodic maintenance procedures will enhance long life for your equipment. Clim atic

conditions (such as salt air) may require more thorough and frequent c leaning or the life of the equipment

could be adversely affected.

The oven interior is finished with a porcelain enamel coating. “Sp illovers” should be cleaned from the

interior bottom surface as soon as possible to prevent carbonizing and a burnt-on condition. Grease or any

residue should be cleaned from interior surfaces as soon as it accum ulates.

! WARNING

FOR YOUR SAFETY, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE APPLIANCE B EFORE

CLEANING.

WHEN CLEANING THE BLOWER WHEEL, BE SURE TO HAVE THE POWER SWITCH IN THE

“OFF” POSITION.

1. Turn the power switch to OFF and allow the oven to cool.

2. Remove the oven-interior racks and rack slide frames. (The rack slide f rames are readily removable by

merely raising to disengage them from their sockets.) W ash the racks and rack slides in a sink with

mild detergent and warm water. Dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth.

3. Look to see if any foreign matter has accumulated on the blades of the blo wer wheel (which will reduce

air circulation). If necessary, remove the rear lining of the oven, whic h is secured by thumbscrews near

each corner. Use a stiff brush to remove accumulations from the blower blades, then wash with soa p

and water.

4. Wash the interior surfaces with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water, and dry

thoroughly with a clean cloth. For stubborn accumulations, a commer cial oven cleaner may be used.

5. Clean the control panel with warm water and mild soap. Never use cleaning solv ents with a

hydrocarbon base.

6. Wipe the other exterior surfaces with a clean damp cloth. If the exterior surf aces require more thorough

cleaning, see “Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces” on the next page.

7. Return the rack slides and racks to their appropriate locations inside t he oven.

8. LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN AT NIGHT AFTER CLEANING. This allows the oven to dry thoroug hly after

cleaning and also prolongs the life of the door gasket.

Clean around rear of motor (where the vent screen is located), louvered pa nels, and primary air holes in

the rear of the oven where grease or lint may have accumulated.
