CLEANING
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURES BEFORE CLEANING.
COOKING COMPARTMENT DRAINS
Keep compartment drains running freely. Inspect compartment drains daily for blockage. Remove any particles or debris from the perforated strainer daily (or more often if needed).
After cooking greasy foods or seafood, close the doors and operate each compartment for 15 to 30 minutes to flush any residual grease and oils down the compartment drain. Make a solution of warm water and detergent and pour 1/2 gallon (1.9 liters) of it down each compartment drain. Rinse by pouring 1/2 gallon (1.9 liters) of hot water down each compartment drain.
BOILER BLOWDOWN
To prevent malfunction of controls and clogging, it is essential to blow down the boiler every day. This will flush out any accumulated minerals from the feed water. It will also aid in preventing internal scale buildup which would interfere with proper boiler operation. Failure to blow down the boiler every day may void the steamer warranty. The presence of minerals in suspension is indicated by a murky or milky condition in the first portion of the water drained.
WARNING: THE WATER BEING DRAINED IS HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE. USE CARE WHEN CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BOILER.
After the steamer boiler has been in operation, press [ O ] and the boiler will blow down for approximately 5 minutes, removing sediment, scale or lime buildup in the boiler.
COMPARTMENTS
Wash the inside of the compartment with a solution of warm water and detergent. Rinse with warm water.
Once a week, thoroughly clean the exposed surfaces (sides, front, door and top) with a damp cloth and polish with a clean cloth. To remove discolorations, use a nonabrasive cleaner.
DOOR GASKETS
Clean the gasket sealing surface of the compartment doors to remove harmful food acids for maximum gasket life. Do not use any solvents. Wash with a cloth moistened in a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with a fresh cloth moistened with warm water to remove all traces of detergent. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Never apply food oils or petroleum lubricants directly to the door gasket.
LEAVE COMPARTMENT DOORS OPEN
CAUTION: Leave the compartment doors slightly open when the steamer is not in use. When the compartment is idle, never latch the door and apply pressure to the door gasket. Leaving the gasket under pressure can cause permanent deformation and reduce gasket life.
