CLEANING
• To remove grease and food splatter or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment, apply
cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing 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. 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 PAD, 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. Refinishing may then be required.
SEMIANNUAL CLEANING
At least twice a year, have your Southbend Authorized Service Agency or another qualified service
technician clean and adjust the unit for maximum performance. Semiannual cleaning should include the
following:
1. Add two gallons of deliming solution through the door into the cavity.
2. Turn unit on, let run for 30 minutes.
3. Turn unit off and drain all solution from the cavity.
4. Fill unit with clean water and drain. Repeat 2 times.
