CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly. Cooking equipment is no exception.
Your Radiance range and oven must be kept clean throughout the day and thoroughly cleaned at the end of the day.
OPEN BURNERS
DAILY
1. Lift all the open grates.
2. Lift off the burner heads and venturies by raising the head slightly, sliding to the rear of the range
and lifting upwards.
3. Wash all of the above in hot, soapy water.
4. Reinstallation of the top burners is the reverse of removal.
GRIDDLES
1. Scrape with a nylon griddle scraper to remove cooked on spills. Use a fine grained stone only
when absolutely necessary.
2. Wipe away any griddle stone dust food particles with burlap.
3. Wash with hot, soapy water, then rinse with vinegar and water.
4. Rinse again with clear water.
5. Re-oil with shortening or liquid frying compound.
6. DO NOT FLOOD A HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD WATER! This promotes and cause the griddle
plate to crack if continued over a long period of time.
ALL OVENS AND SALAMANDER BROILERS
1. Remove the baking racks. Wash in hot soapy water, and replace after the rest of the oven is cleaned.
2. Remove the oven bottom by lifting it out from the front then sliding forward, out of the oven.
3. Scrape off any food particles with a nylon griddle scraper. Be very careful about scratching the
porcelain finish on the oven liner panels.
4. Wash all the above with hot soapy water, then reassemble.
5. 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.
6. Do not allow spray type oven cleaners to come into contact with the temperature probe in the oven.
7. After cleaning the oven, rinse well with 1/4 cup of vinegar to quart of clear water solution to neutralize
any caustic residue of the cleaning compound. Wipe dry.
8. Infra-red burners, available on TACM cheesemelters and TASM salamanders require cleaning once a month.
The use of any solvents or wire brushes may damage tiles.
HOT TOPS
1. Scrape off any food spills.
2. Wash with hot, soapy water then rinse and lightly oil.
NEVER USE AMMONIA IN AN OVEN THAT IS WARMER THAN
ROOM TEMPERATURE AND ALWAYS HAVE DIRECT VENTILATION!
CAUTION
