Maintenance
WARNING
Turn the power off, unplug the power
cord, and allow the unit to cool to room
temperature before performing any
service or maintenance.
CAUTION
Chlorides or phosphates in cleaning
agents (e.g., bleach, sanitizers,
degreasers, or detergents) can cause
permanent damage to stainless steel
equipment. The damage is usually
in the form of discoloration, dulling of
metal surface finish, pits, voids, holes,
or cracks. This damage is permanent
and is not covered by warranty. Follow
these tips for maintenance of stainless
steel equipment:
y
Use a soft, damp cloth for
cleaning, rinse with clear water,
and wipe dry. Always rub in the
direction of metal polish lines.
y
Only use approved cleansers.
y
Finger marks and smears should
be removed using soap and water.
y
Do NOT use a metal
scraper on grill surfaces
y
Do NOT wash any components
of the unit in a dishwasher.
Hand wash ONLY in a
three-compartment sink.
CAUTION
Grill surfaces will be hot. Extreme
care must be taken when operating or
cleaning this unit. Use heat-resistant
gloves when necessary.
NOTE:
Do NOT wash in a power washer.
6.
Clean the chamber of any product spills.
7.
Clean entire unit with a clean, hot, damp
cloth (not dripping wet) and wipe dry.
8.
Re-install Chimney, Liner, Spatula, and
Top Cover.
9.
Plug in the power cord and test the unit
before returning it to service.
Monthly Cleaning
This unit utilizes an open steam generator.
Water sprayed onto the Generator surface
flashes into steam immediately, but the
minerals in the water do not steam; they stay
on the Generator surface. A small amount
of mineral deposits are needed for proper
operation, but a buildup of excessive mineral
deposits causes poor steaming efficiency
and excessive moisture (wet steam) and
will eventually severely hinder the steaming
action.
Cleaning Steam Generator
1.
Turn the power off, unplug the power
cord, and allow the unit to cool down.
2.
Remove the Top Cover.
3.
Remove the Wing Nut and Generator
Cover.
4.
Remove the Diffuser.
5.
Examine all steam ports. If mineral
deposits have formed, place a flat
blade screwdriver or wire brush into
the openings. Use a twisting motion to
scrape the openings clean.
NOTE:
If the mineral deposits come off
in flakes or layers, buildup is
excessive.
6.
Use a brass or stainless steel wire brush
and small scraper to loosen and remove
excessive deposits from the generator
surface. If deposits are still excessive
and/or difficult to remove, proceed to
Step 7.
7.
Pour food safe delimer solution (not
supplied) or white vinegar onto the
Generator surface. Be sure to follow the
delimer manufacturer’s directions for
proper mixture and use. It must be safe
for use on aluminum.
8.
Remove the delimer solution from the
Generator and rinse with clear water to
remove all traces of solution.
9.
Clean the Spatula Liner, Chimney,
Diffuser, Top Cover, and Generator
Cover in hot detergent water. Then rinse
in clear water and wipe dry.
10.
Clean steam chamber of any product
spills.
11.
Clean the surface of the unit with a hot,
clean, damp cloth (not dripping wet) and
wipe dry.
12.
Re-install all parts and fasten the
Generator Cover.
13.
Plug in the power cord and water line.
To ensure proper steaming characteristics,
some mineral deposits must be present on
the Generator surface. If during cleaning, the
surface does become free of mineral deposits
(bare aluminum), add plain tap water to
surface and allow to boil off.
In soft water areas, it may be necessary to
add a small amount of calcium/minerals to
the generator surface to season it. This will
ensure proper steaming characteristics by
producing a thin coating of mineral deposits
on the surface. Seasoning mixture consists
of 2 tablespoons baking soda, and 1 cup
water. Pour 1/4 cup of seasoning mixture
onto hot generator. After mixture is converted
to steam, the remaining loose powder can be
removed. Repeat as needed until there is a
thin, white mineral coating on the surface of
the generator.
