CLEANING
NOTE: Disconnect the oven from the power supply before
cleaning or servicing .
Break-In Period
When the oven is new, operate it for one hour at 450°F before
beginning normal cooking operation . After cooling, wipe the
interior, including the racks, with a clean damp cloth .
Exterior Cleaning
Establish a regular cleaning schedule . Spills should be wiped
off immediately . The oven should always be allowed to cool
sufficiently before any cleaning is attempted .
When cool, wipe exposed, clean-able surfaces with a mild
detergent and hot water . Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a light-weight, non-metallic scouring pad .
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth . Stubborn stains may be
removed by using a non-metallic abrasive pad, rubbing in
the direction of the metal’s grain . If necessary, for particularly
heavy deposits, you may mix a thin paste of water and
scouring powder and apply it with a sponge . Be careful
to apply light pressure and remember to rub only in the
direction of the metal’s grain .
The control panel surface is easily cleaned with hot water,
soap and a soft cloth . Do not use hard abrasives, solvent type
materials or metallic scouring pads since these will scratch or
cloud the surface .
Never spray steam, water, or spray cleaners directly at the
control panel . This will allow moisture into the control
compartment which could damage electrical components .
Interior Cleaning
Establish a regular cleaning schedule or wipe off spills on the
same day they occur .
Cool down the oven to 160°F .
Remove the oven racks .
Lift the rack guides on either side of the oven off their holders .
Racks and guides may be run through the dishwasher while
the oven cavity is being cleaned .
Exercise caution when removing the fan cover to avoid the
possibility of injury .
Spray the oven interior with commercial oven cleaner . Set
the temperature to 225°F (107°C) and the moisture setting to
FISH . Run the oven for 20 minutes . Wash down the interior of
the oven with the with hot soapy water and rinse with spray
hose if present .
To reinstall oven racks, reverse procedure .
It may be desirable to use a commercially available soil shield
product, (such as ‘KOTE,’ manufactured by Kay Chemical
Company), to pre-treat the oven interior, which will make
cleaning easier . Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
carefully . Be sure not to get chemicals on food-contact
surfaces .
Fan Area Cleaning
If aluminum foil is routinely used to wrap food or cooking
vessels during oven operation, the following preventive
maintenance must be performed:
Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position .
Remove the oven racks and rack guides .
Remove the air baffle and clean any stains or deposits . Check
the blower wheel and air baffle for particles of aluminum
foil or food deposits . Clean the vanes of the blower wheel as
necessary . (Caution: edges of blower wheel vanes may be
sharp .)
Reinstall the air baffle, rack guides and oven racks .
