CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Shut off the steamer before cleaning or performing maintenance.

Southbend appliances are sturdily constructed of the best materials and are designed to provide durable service when treated with ordinary care. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the periods for this care and cleaning depend on the amount and degree of usage.

Following daily and periodic maintenance procedures will enhance long life for your equipment. Climatic conditions (such as salt air) may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the equipment could be adversely affected.

Keep exposed, cleanable areas clean at all times.
