USER MAINTENANCE
Disinfecting
Disinfect the oven if algae, mold, bacteria, or other biological contaminants are an issue. For
maximum effectiveness, disinfection procedures are typically performed after cleaning. Keep the
following points in mind:
•
Turn off and unplug the unit to safeguard against electrical hazards.
•
Disinfect the oven chamber using commercially available disinfectants that are non-
corrosive, non-abrasive, and suitable for use on stainless steel and glass surfaces. Contact
your local Site Safety Officer for detailed information on which disinfectants are compatible
with your applications.
•
If permitted by your protocol, remove all interior accessories (any shelving and other non-
attached items) from the chamber when disinfecting.
•
Disinfect all surfaces in the chamber, making sure to thoroughly disinfect the corners.
Exercise care to avoid damaging the sensor probes.
•
When disinfecting external surfaces, use disinfectants that will not damage painted metal,
glass, and plastic.

NTEGRITY
Periodically, inspect the door latch, trim, catch, and gasket for signs of deterioration. Failure to
maintain the integrity of the door system shortens the lifespan of the unit.

ASKETS
The door gasket is exposed to significant compressive forces and outgassed byproducts and must
be replaced periodically by the end-user. See the Replacement Parts chapter at the end of this
manual.
These ovens come with Buna liner gaskets for sealing the chamber door. These are rated to 221°F
