C24EA SERIES ELECTRIC COUNTER CONVECTION STEAMERS
CLEANING
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE
ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE
MACHINE AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT /
TAGOUT PROCEDURES BEFORE
CLEANING.
COOKING COMPARTMENT DRAIN
Keep compartment drain running freely. Inspect
compartment drains daily for blockage. Remove
any particles or debris from the perforated
strainer daily (or more often if needed).
After cooking greasy foods or seafood, close
the doors and operate each compartment for 25
to 30 minutes to flush any residual grease and
oils down the compartment drain. Make a
solution of warm water and non-chloride
detergent and pour 1/2 gallon (1.9 liters) of it
down the compartment drain. Rinse by pouring
1/2 gallon (1.9 liters) of hot water down the
compartment drain.
DRAINING GENERATOR
To prevent malfunction of controls and clogging,
it is essential to drain the generator every day.
This will flush out any accumulated minerals
from the feed water. It will also aid in preventing
internal scale buildup which would interfere with
proper generator operation. Failure to drain the
generator every day will void the steamer
warranty. The presence of minerals in
suspension is indicated by a murky or milky
condition in the first portion of the water drained.
WARNING:
THE WATER BEING DRAINED IS
HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE.
USE CARE WHEN CLEANING OR
SERVICING THE GENERATOR.
After the generator has been in operation, turn
the unit off with the power switch located on
cooking compartment to drain the generator.
The generator will drain for approximately 15
minutes, removing sediment, scale and lime
buildup in the generator.
COMPARTMENT
Wash the inside of the compartment with a
solution of warm water and non-chloride
detergent. Rinse with warm water.
Once a week, thoroughly clean the exposed
surfaces (sides, front, door and top) with a
damp cloth and polish with a clean cloth. To
remove discolorations, use a nonabrasive
cleaner.
DOOR GASKET
Clean the gasket sealing surface of the
compartment door to remove food acids for
maximum gasket life. Do not use any solvents
or sharp instruments. Wash with a cloth
moistened in a solution of mild detergent and
warm water. Rinse with a fresh cloth moistened
with warm water to remove all traces of
detergent.
Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Never apply food
oils or petroleum lubricants directly to the door
gasket. Petroleum-based solvents and
lubricants will reduce gasket life.
LEAVE COMPARTMENT DOOR OPEN
Leave the compartment door slightly open when
the steamer is not in use. When the compartment
is idle, never latch the door and apply pressure
to the door gasket. Leaving the gasket under
pressure can cause permanent deformation
and reduce gasket life.
GUIDELINES FOR MAINTAINING
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
There are four things that will break down
stainless steel and allow corrosion to develop:
1) Abrasion
2) Deposits
3) Water
4) Chlorides
