PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Daily Preventive Maintenance
It is normal for a coating of starch to form on the sensors
and temperature probes during operation. If the coating is
allowed to build-up, it will adversely affect the operation of
the equipment. The preventive maintenance routines below
should be performed at least daily to keep your equipment
functioning at peak efficiency. The cookpot and rinse tank –
especially the water-level sensors and the temperature probe
– may require more frequent cleaning, depending upon the
product volume. NOTE : Do not use deliming solution to
clean these units. Use of deliming solution will damage all
stainless steel parts.
Inspect Equipment and Accessories for Damage
Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign
material in cookpot or inside cabinet, and any other
indications that the equipment and accessories are not ready
for safe operation.
Clean Cabinet Inside and Out
Clean inside the cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all
accessible metal surfaces and components to remove
accumulations of oil, dust, or cooking residue.
Clean the outside of the cabinet with a clean cloth
dampened with dishwashing detergent, removing oil, dust,
or cooking residue.
DANGER
Never attempt to clean this equipment during the
cooking process or when the cook-pot is filled with hot
water and/or food products.
Clean Water-Level Sensors, Temperature Probe, Cookpot,
and Rinse Tank
1. Turn the equipment off and drain the cookpot (and rinse
tank, if so equipped).
2. Remove the probe cover and clean the water-level
sensors and temperature probe using a Scotchbrite™
or similar abrasive pad and a solution of detergent and
water.
3. Using a Scotchbrite™ or similar abrasive pad and a
solution of detergent and water, clean the in-side of the
cookpot (and rinse the tank, if so equipped).
4. Rinse the cookpot (and rinse tank, if so equipped)
thoroughly with clean water at least twice.
WARNING
Do not use deliming solution to clean these units. Use of
deliming solution will damage all stainless steel parts.
Cleaning the Gas Valve Vent Tube
This procedure should be performed at least once every 90
days.
1. Set the power switch and the gas valve to the OFF
position.
2. Carefully unscrew the vent tube from the gas valve.
NOTE: The vent tube may be straightened for ease in
removal.
3. Pass a piece of wire through the tube to remove any
obstruction.
4. Remove the wire and blow through the tube to ensure it
is clear.
5. Reinstall the tube and bend it so that the opening is
pointing downward.
Cleaning and Adjusting the Combustion Air
Blower
1. Unplug the cooker. Mark and disconnect the four wires
running from the motor at the inline con-nectors.
2. Remove the four nuts and bolts securing the blower to
mounting bracket. Remove the blower from the cooker.
3. Remove the three fasteners that secure the blower motor
assembly to the blower housing, and separate the two
components.
