MAINTENANCE
CARE AND CLEANING
The complete range should be given a periodic general cleaning. Lint and grease
suspended in the air tend to collect in air passages. Therefore, all flueways, air passages and
opening, burner ports, primary air openings, etc., should be periodically cleaned to prevent
clogging.
EXTERIOR
PAINTED SURFACE: Allow equipment to cool after use and wash with a mild detergent or
soap solution. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE: To remove normal dirt, grease, or product residue from
stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or
cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
To remove grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors that have baked on the
equipment, ally cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub the cleaner on the metal in the
direction of the polished lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible in the
direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A
CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above, procedure can
usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS
scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any particles left on the surface will
rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL
SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS.
Surfaces which are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring
also increases the possibility of corrosive attack.
To remove heat tint: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the
area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of
the protective surface of the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be
removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous
scouring in the direction of the polish lines, using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a
STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint action may be
lessened by not applying or by reducing heat to equipment during slack periods.
