MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly. Cooking equipment is
no exception. Your MARKET FORGE INDUSTRIES, INC. oven must be kept clean during the working day
and thoroughly cleaned at the end of the day.
CAUTION:
Never use Ammonia in an Oven that is warmer than room temperature and always have
direct ventilation.
Daily Cleaning:
1.
Remove the baking racks. Wash in hot soapy water, and replace after the rest of the oven is
cleaned.
2.
Scrape off any food particles with a nylon griddle scraper. Be very careful about scratching the
porcelain finish on the oven liner panels.
3.
Wash all the above with hot soapy water, then reassemble.
4.
Baked on spills may be loosened and stubborn stains removed with ordinary household
ammonia and scrubbing with a nylon pad in a cold oven only.
5.
Do not allow spray type oven cleaners to come into contact with the temperature probe in the
oven.
6.
After cleaning the oven, rinse well with ¼ cup of vinegar to one quart of clear water solution to
neutralize any caustic residue of the cleaning compound. Wipe dry.
7.
To increase the life of the motor, follow these instructions:
a)
Never run oven with motor off.
b)
After you finish cooking and the oven is not to be used for more then 1/2 hour. Place the
switch to the “COOL” position and open the door. When oven temperature is equal to
room temperature turn unit off.
Periodic Cleaning:
Check the ventilation system periodically to see that nothing has fallen down into the exhaust vents.
Lubricate the pivot pins of the oven door hinge. Use a multi-purpose lubricating oil sparingly so as to not
drip oil needlessly.
Your appliance should be checked for safe and efficient operation at least once a year by qualified
service personnel.
Cleaning Stainless Steel:
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water during the day and with a
liquid cleaner designed for this material at the end of each day.
DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners or powders to clean stainless surfaces! If it is
necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak in hot water to loosen the
material; then use a wood or nylon scraper.
DO NOT USE a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches are
almost impossible to remove.
