CLEANING
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW
LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES.
Daily
Exterior
Clean the exterior finish of the broiler with a mild soap solution or similar grease-dissolving material.
DO NOT use Dawn Dish Detergent.
Broiler and Oven
Clean the broiler, oven sections and doors, especially if fruit pies or tomato sauce were baked or meats
roasted, or if there have been any spillovers.
Stainless Steel
Routine cleaning of stainless steel may be done with ordinary soap or detergent and water. DO NOT
use Dawn Dish Detergent. To prevent water spots and streaks, rinse the broiler thoroughly with warm
water and wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth. The addition of a rinsing agent will also help prevent spotting.
When scraping off heavy deposits of grease or oil from stainless steel broilers, use stainless steel,
wood, plastic or rubber tools. Never use ordinary steel scrapers, knives or plain steel wool.
Fingerprints may be minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin, oily or waxy film. Wipe the
cleaner on and remove the excess with a soft, dry cloth. Subsequent fingerprints will usually disappear
when wiped lightly with a soft, dry cloth containing a little of the cleaner. If the surface is especially dirty
to start with, wash first with soap or detergent and water.
Soaking with hot, soapy water will help greatly to remove burned-on foods and grease. Stubborn
deposits can be removed with scouring powder mixed into a paste and applied with stainless steel wool
or sponges. Do not use ordinary steel wool because particles that remain can eventually rust and cause
unsightly spots and stains. Rub in the direction of the polish lines.
Straw-colored or slightly darkened areas may appear on stainless steel appliances where temperatures
reach 500°F (260°C) or more. This "heat tint" is caused by a slight oxidation of the stainless steel and
is not harmful.
To control or minimize this condition, never use more heat than is absolutely necessary. Do not use
oversize pots where whipping of the flames will occur.
Heat tint can be removed by scouring vigorously with stainless steel wool and a paste made of scouring
powder. Rub in the direction of the polish lines.
Periodically
Clean dust and lint from the blower fan blades to maintain the greatest air flow and to prevent carboning
the burners.
