CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Disconnect line cord from power supply before
cleaning or servicing .
Break-In Period
When oven is new, operate it for one hour at 375°F (191°C)
before you begin your normal cooking operation. After
cooling, wipe the interior, including the racks, with a clean
damp cloth.
Exterior Cleaning
Establish a regular schedule. Any spills should be wiped off
immediately.
1. The oven should always be allowed to cool sufficiently
before any cleaning is attempted.
2. Wipe exposed, cleanable surface when cool with a mild
detergent and hot water. Stubborn residue spots may be
removed with a lightweight non-metallic scouring pad.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
3. Stubborn stains may be removed by using a non-metallic
abrasive pad, rubbing in the direction of the metal’s grain.
If necessary, for particularly heavy deposits, you may mix
a thin paste of water and scouring powder, and apply
it with a sponge. Be careful to apply light pressure and
remember to rub only in the direction of the grain in the
metal.
4. The control panel surface is easily cleaned with hot water,
soap and a soft cloth. Do not use hard abrasives, solvent
type materials or metallic scouring pads since these will
scratch or cloud the surface.
5. Never spray the perforated areas of the control panel with
steam or water jets, as this allow moisture into the control
cavity. Moisture could damage the electrical components
or place the operator at risk of electrical shock.
Interior Cleaning
Establish a regular cleaning schedule or wipe off on the same
day when spillovers occur.
1. Cool down oven.
2. Remove oven racks.
3. Lift rack guides on either side of oven off of holders. Racks
and guides may be run through dishwasher while oven
cavity is being cleaned.
4. Clean with soap and water using a non-metallic scouring
pad, if necessary. If dirt and grease have accumulated, a
mild ammonia solution or commercial oven cleaner such
as Easy-Off or Dow may be used.
5. To reinstall, reverse procedure. Place the bottom of the
rack guide against the cavity wall. Keeping the top pulled
away from the wall lift up. Push the top of the guide
against the wall and push down locking it into place.
Fan Area Maintenance
If aluminum foil is routinely used to wrap food or cooking
vessels during oven operation, the following preventive
maintenance must be performed:
1. Turn power switch to “Off” position
2. Remove oven racks and rack guides.
3. Remove air baffle and clean any stains or deposits.
4. Check blower wheel and air baffle for particles of
aluminum foil or food deposits. Clean fins of blower
wheel. (CAUTION: edges of blower wheel fins may be
sharp).
5. Reinstall the air baffle, rack guides and oven racks.
This simple practice, if performed on a regular basis will keep
your Garland oven operating at peak performance.
Motor Care
The motor on your convection oven is maintenance free
since it is constructed with self-lubricating sealed ball
bearings. It is designed to provide durable service when
treated with ordinary care. We have a few suggestions
to follow on the care of your motor. When the motor is
operating, it cools itself internally by air entering at the rear
of the motor case, provided proper clearance has been
allowed.
Since the blower wheel is in the oven cavity it is at the same
temperature as the oven. If the motor is stopped while the
oven is hot, the heat from the blower wheel is conducted
down the shaft and into the armature of the motor. This
action could shorten the life of the motor.
We recommend, at the end of the bake or roasting period,
when the oven will be idle for any period of time, or before
shutting down completely, that the doors be left open
slightly. On the 400 series controllers press the
COOL DOWN
key on the control panel. The fan will continue to run until
the oven cools down to 150°F (66°C).
