CARE AND CLEANING
ASC-2E & ASC-4E Electric Convection Ovens - Electronic Control • 18
CLEAN THE OVEN ON A DAILY BASIS
1. After the oven has cooled, remove all detachable
items such as wire shelves, side racks, and drip
pan. Clean these items separately.
2. Remove any food scraps from shelves, shelf
supports, and blower fan wheel. Convection
baffle openings must be kept clear of food
scraps and grease.
3. Wipe the interior metal surfaces of the oven
with a paper towel to remove any remaining
food debris.
4. Clean interior with a damp cloth or sponge
and any good commercial detergent at the
recommended strength.
5. For baked-on food deposits, use a non-caustic
and non-toxic commercial oven cleaner
appropriate for the interior oven surface of
your oven. Follow the product manufacturer's
instructions carefully for the use of this
product. Any commercial oven cleaner
must be approved for use on food contact
areas. Remove soil with the use of a plastic
scouring pad.
6. Wipe door gaskets thoroughly
since these areas harbor food
debris and grease.
7. Rinse surfaces by wiping with
a clean cloth or sponge and clean
warm water.
8. Remove excess water with a sponge
and wipe dry with a clean cloth or air dry.
Leave doors open until interior is completely
dry. Replace side racks and shelves.
Always follow appropriate state or local health
(hygiene) regulations regarding all applicable
cleaning and sanitation requirements for food
service equipment.
EXTERIOR
To help maintain the protective film coating on
polished stainless steel, clean the exterior of the
cabinet with a cleaner recommended for stainless
steel surfaces. Spray the cleaning agent on a clean
cloth and wipe with the grain of the stainless steel.
Wipe control panel, door vents and door handles,
thoroughly since these areas harbor food debris.
Clean exterior glass surfaces with a commercial
window cleaner.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING COMPOUNDS
M
OTOR CARE
The convection oven motor contains self-
lubricating, sealed ball bearings and is
generally maintenance-free. During operation,
the interior of the motor is cooled by air flowing
into the rear of the motor case. This is a general
operating feature when proper clearances have
been allowed.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, UTILIZE THE COOL-
DOWN MODE AND OPEN THE OVEN DOORS.
The oven is fabricated with an easy to clean porcelain
enamel interior or an optional stainless steel interior.
NOTE: Always allow the oven to cool before
cleaning. If the oven is hot, allow the
interior surfaces to become cool to the
touch by opening the oven doors and
engaging the cool-down function.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING COMPOUNDS.
Completely avoid the use of abrasive cleaning
compounds, chloride-based cleaners, or cleaners
containing quaternary salts. To protect metal
finish on stainless steel, never use hydrochloric
acid (muriatic acid).
