PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Daily Preventive Maintenance

It is normal for a coating of starch to form on the sensors 

and temperature probes during operation.  If the coating is 

allowed to build-up, it will adversely affect the operation of 

the equipment.  The preventive maintenance routines below 

should be performed at least daily to keep your equipment 

functioning at peak efficiency.  The cookpot and rinse tank – 

especially the water-level sensors and the temperature probe 

– may require more frequent cleaning, depending upon the 

product volume.  

NOTE

:  Do not use deliming solution to 

clean these units. Use of deliming solution will damage all 

stainless steel parts.

Inspect Equipment and Accessories for Damage

Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign 

material in cookpot or inside cabinet, and any other 

indications that the equipment and accessories are not ready 

for safe operation.

Clean Cabinet Inside and Out

Clean inside the cabinet with a dry, clean cloth.  Wipe all 

accessible metal surfaces and components to remove 

accumulations of oil, dust, or cooking residue.

Clean the outside of the cabinet with a clean cloth 

dampened with dishwashing detergent, removing oil, dust, 

or cooking residue.

 DANGER

Never attempt to clean this equipment during the 

cooking process or when the cook-pot is filled with hot 

water and/or food products. 

Clean Water-Level Sensors, Temperature Probe, Cookpot, 

and Rinse Tank

1.  Turn the equipment off and drain the cookpot (and rinse 

tank, if so equipped).

2.  Remove the probe cover and clean the water-level 

sensors and temperature probe using a Scotchbrite™ 

or similar abrasive pad and a solution of detergent and 

water.

3.  Using a Scotchbrite™ or similar abrasive pad and a 

solution of detergent and water, clean the in-side of the 

cookpot (and rinse the tank, if so equipped).

4.  Rinse the cookpot (and rinse tank, if so equipped) 

thoroughly with clean water at least twice.

WARNING

Do not use deliming solution to clean these units. Use of 

deliming solution will damage all stainless steel parts.

Cleaning the Gas Valve Vent Tube

This procedure should be performed at least once every 90 

days.

1.  Set the power switch and the gas valve to the OFF 

position.

2.  Carefully unscrew the vent tube from the gas valve.  

NOTE:  The vent tube may be straightened for ease in 

removal.

3.  Pass a piece of wire through the tube to remove any 

obstruction.

4.  Remove the wire and blow through the tube to ensure it 

is clear.

5.  Reinstall the tube and bend it so that the opening is 

pointing downward.

Cleaning and Adjusting the Combustion Air 

Blower

1.  Unplug the cooker.  Mark and disconnect the four wires 

running from the motor at the inline con-nectors.

2.  Remove the four nuts and bolts securing the blower to 

mounting bracket.  Remove the blower from the cooker.

3.  Remove the three fasteners that secure the blower motor 

assembly to the blower housing, and separate the two 

components.
