CLEANING
Cooking Compartment Drains
Keep compartment drains running freely. Inspect compartment drains daily for blockage. Remove any
particles or debris from the perforated strainer daily or more often if needed.
After cooking greasy foods, close the doors and operate each compartment for 15 – 30 minutes to flush
any residual grease and oils down the compartment drain. Pour one-half gallon
(2 liter) of warm soapy
water down the drain and rinse with one-half gallon
(2 liter) of hot clear water.
Boiler Blowdown
To prevent malfunction of controls and clogging, it is essential to flush (blow down) the boiler every day.
This will flush out any accumulated minerals (left from the feed water) and aid in preventing internal
scale build-up which, in time, would interfere with proper boiler operation. Failure to blow down the
boiler every day may void the warranty applying to the controls. The presence of minerals in
suspension is indicated by a murky or milky condition in the first portion of the water drained.
WARNING: THE WATER BEING DRAINED IS HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE. USE CARE WHEN
CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BOILER.
After the steamer boiler has been in operation, press [ 0 ] to blow down the boiler removing sediment,
scale, or lime build-up in the boiler. The boiler will blow down for approximately 5 minutes.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE CLEANING
Wash Compartment with Warm Soapy Water
Wash the inside of the compartment using warm soapy water and rinse with warm clear water.
Once a week thoroughly clean the exposed surfaces (sides, front, door, top) with a damp cloth and
polish with a soft dry cloth. To remove discolorations, use a non-abrasive cleaner.
Door Gaskets
Clean gasket sealing surface of compartment doors to remove harmful food acids for maximum gasket
life. Do not use any solvents. Wash with a cloth moistened in a solution of mild detergent and warm
water. Rinse with a fresh cloth moistened with warm clear water to remove all traces of detergent. Wipe
dry with a soft clean cloth. Never apply food oils or petroleum lubricants directly to the door gasket.
Petroleum based solvents and lubricants will shorten door gasket life.
Leave Compartment Doors Open
CAUTION: Leave the compartment doors slightly open when the steamer is not in use. When
the compartment is idle, never latch the door and apply pressure to the door gasket. Leaving
the gasket under pressure can cause permanent deformation which will greatly shorten the gasket life.
