Preventive Maintenance
I
n addition to the routine cleaning and maintenance procedures, there are several additional steps to be
t
aken for both sanitation purposes and to keep the oven running at top operating efficiency. These
a
dditional safeguards will help prevent inconvenient down time and costly repairs.
●
DO NOT DISPOSE OF GREASE, FAT, OR SOLID WASTE DOWN THE OVEN DRAIN.
Fats and solids will eventually coagulate in the drain system, causing blockage. Consequently, water
will back-up into the condenser and interior oven compartment, resulting in an oven that is inoperable.
●
MAKE CERTAIN THE DRAIN SCREEN IS ALWAYS IN PLACE. REMOVE ANY SOLID
WASTE MATERIAL FROM THE DRAIN SCREEN BEFORE IT ENTERS THE DRAIN SYSTEM.
The routine removal of solids from the drain screen will help prevent blockage.
●
USE THE AUTHORIZED COMBITHERM OVEN CLEANER ONLY. The use of unauthorized
cleaning agents may discolor or harm the interior sur faces of the oven.
●
TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE DOOR GASKET, CLEAN THIS ITEM DAILY.
The acids and related compounds found in fat, particularly chicken fat, will weaken the
composition of the gasket unless cleaned on a daily basis. Wipe with a hot, soapy cloth.
●
TO ADDITIONALLY PROTECT GASKET LIFE, ALLOW OVEN DOOR TO REMAIN
SLIGHTLY OPEN AT THE END OF THE PRODUCTION DAY. An open door will relieve
the pressure on the door gasket.
●
ROUTINELY CLEAN DOOR HINGES. Open oven door to relieve tension. Clean all parts of the hinge.

1. Remove food trolley to a cart wash area. Trolleys may be cleaned using any mild
cleaning detergent and warm water.
2. Hand wipe all framing, slides, drip pan, and base. Thoroughly clean debris from
the casters. A spray hose can be used for easier cart cleaning.
3. Remove detergent solution with warm water.
4. Wipe or spray with a sanitizing solution designed for use on metal and vinyl food
contact surfaces.
5. Allow trolley to air dry.
As an alternative, trolleys can be cleaned while inside the oven. Allow the
trolley to remain in the oven through the normal cleaning cycle, followed
by steps 2 through 5 above.
