MAINTENANCE
If the appliance is on casters and is connected to the supply piping by means of a connector for movable
appliances, there is a restraining device at the rear of the unit. If disconnection of the restraint is
necessary, reconnect the restraint after the appliance has been returned to its originally installed
position.
CAUTION:
Never use Ammonia in an Oven that is warmer than room temperature and always have
direct ventilation.
Daily Cleaning:
Clean top grate(s) with warm water, mild cleaner and wire brush. Clean and brush off debris from and
around the burner area. Empty and clean grease pan. Griddle plates should be cleaned with warm water
and scrubbed with cleaning abrasive such as a griddle brick of fine grit type. Top surface can also be
‘bleached’ with vinegar, pickle juice or club soda when the plate is warm.
All Ovens and Salamander/Broiler:
1.
Remove the baking racks. Wash in hot soapy water and replace after the rest of the oven is
cleaned.
2.
Remove the oven bottom by lifting it out from the front then sliding forward, out of the oven.
3.
Scrape off any food particles with a nylon griddle scraper. Be very careful about scratching the
porcelain finish on the oven liner panels.
4.
Wash all the above with hot soapy water, then reassemble.
5.
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.
6.
Do not allow spray type oven cleaners to come into contact with the temperature probe in the
oven.
7.
After cleaning the oven, rinse well with 1/4 cup of vinegar to one quart of clear water solution to
neutralize any caustic residue of the cleaning compound. Wipe dry.
8.
Infra-red burners, available on Cheesemelters and Salamanders, are self-cleaning. The use of
any solvents or wire brushes may damage tiles.
Periodic Cleaning:
Remove burner and clean with warm water and wire brush. Make sure the ports are not clogged. Check
valves and lubricate, if necessary. Consult your service agency or local Gas Company.
Cleaning 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 cloths, cleaners 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.
