PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
In addition to the routine cleaning and maintenance
procedures, there are several additional steps to be
taken for both sanitation and to keep the oven running
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 surfaces 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.
CLEAN PRONGS OF
REMOVABLE PROBE DAILY.
To ensure accurate internal
product temperature readings,
the prongs on the removable
probe must be cleaned daily.
