BP SERIES RANGES OPERATION MANUAL

Any equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your Bakers Pride
®
range and oven must be
kept clean on a daily basis.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
• Scrape off any food particles with a nylon griddle
scrapper. Be very careful about scratching the
porcelain finish on the oven liner panels.
• Wash all the above with hot soapy water, then
reassemble.
• Baked on spills may be loosened and stubborn stains
removed with ordinary household ammonia and
scrubbing with a nylon pad in a cold oven only.
• Do not allow spray type oven cleaners to come into
contact with the temperature probe in the oven.
• After the cleaning the oven, rinse well with 1/4
cup of vinegar to one quart of clean water solution
to neutralize any caustic residue of the cleaning
compound. Wipe dry.
Periodic Cleaning
Check the ventilation system periodically to see that
nothing has fallen down into the stub back, high riser or
high shelf exhaust vents. Lubricate the pivot pins of the
oven door hinge where the right and left arms connect
to the door. Use lubricating oil. Ensure your Bakers
Pride
®
range is checked by a qualified technician once
a year for efficient operation of the appliance
Stainless Steel
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly
with hot soapy water during the day and with a liquid
cleaner designed for this material at the end of each
day. DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cloth, or powders
to clean stainless surfaces. If it is necessary to scrape
stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak in
hot water to loosen the material, then use a wood or
nylon scraper. DO NOT USE a metal knife, spatula, or
any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches
are almost impossible to remove.
Contact the factory, factory representative or a local
service company to perform all Maintenance and
Service Repairs.
Never use Ammonia in an oven that is warmer
than room temperature and always have direct
ventilation!
CAUTION
Daily Maintenance
Open Burners
• Remove all top grates.
• Lift off the burner heads and venturies by raising
the head slightly, sliding to the rear of the range and
lifting upwards.
• Wash all of the above in hot, soapy water.
• Re-install burner parts in the reverse order.
Griddles
• Scrape with a nylon griddle scraper to remove
cooked on spills. When absolutely necessary use a
fine grained stone to scrape.
• Wipe away any griddle stone dust and food particles
with burlap.
• Wash with hot, soapy water, then rinse with vinegar
and water.
• Rinse again with clear water.
• Re-oil with shortening or liquid frying compound.
• DO NOT FLOOD A HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD
WATER. This could cause warping and griddle plate
to crack.
Ovens
• Remove the baking racks. Wash in hot soapy water,
and replace after the oven is fully cleaned.
• Remove the oven bottom by lifting it out from the
front, then sliding forward, out of the oven.
