Traulsen TRT32 Oven User Manual


 
Leave the compartment door (s) slightly open
(unlatched) when the unit is not in use. Keeping the
gasket under pressure when the unit is not in use can
cause a permanent deformation of the gasket and reduce
its serviceable life.
V. d - STAINLESS STEEL CARE - CLEANING:
Stainless steel contains 70-80% iron, which will rust if
not properly maintained. It also contains 12-30% chro-
mium, which forms an invisible passive, protective lm
that shields against corrosion. If the lm remains intact,
the stainless steel will remain intact.
However, if the lm is damaged, the stainless steel can
break down and rust. To prevent stainless steel break-
down, follow these steps:
Never use any metal tools. Scrappers, les, wire brushes
or scouring pads (except for stainless steel scouring
pads), will mar the surface.
Never use steel wool, which will leave behind particles
that rust.
Never use acid based or chloride-containing cleaning
solutions, which will break down the protective lm.
Never rub in a circular motion.
Never leave any food products or salt on the surface.
Many foods are acidic. Salt contains chloride.
For routine cleaning, use warm water, mild soap or de-
tergent and a sponge or soft cloth.
For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm water a de greaser
and a plastic, stainless steel or scotch-brite pad.
Always rinse thoroughly. Always rub gently in the direc-
tion of the steel grain.
V. e - PRESERVING AND RESTORING:
Special stainless steel polishing cleaners can preserve
and restore the protective lm.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a regular applica-
tion of a high quality stainless steel polishing cleaner as
a nal step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore the stainless steel
surface. First, thoroughly clean, rinse and dry surface.
Then, on a daily basis, apply a high-quality stainless steel
polish according to manufacturer’s instructions.

V. c - Door Gasket (s):
At least once a week, thoroughly clean the gasket sealing
surfaced of the oven door (s) to remove food acids; this action
will ensure maximum gasket life.
Do not use any solvents or sharp instruments to clean
the gasket (s).
Wash the gasket (s) with a cloth moistened with a solution of
mild detergent and warm water.
Rinse with a fresh cloth moistened in warm water to remove
all traces of detergent.
