Exterior Panel Removal

WARNING:  To prevent hazard in servicing the cooker, be certain
that the electrical disconnect circuit breaker for the steamer is OFF
before removing any panels.

Access to all internal plumbing and electrical assemblies is from the right side.  The right-side
panel is removed by removing the bottom screws from panel. 

STAINLESS STEEL

To remove normal dirt, grease or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and
water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth.  Dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.  Never use vinegar or any corrosive cleaner.

To remove grease and food splatters or condensed vapours that have baked on the equipment,
apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the
polishing lines on the metal.  Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible in the direction of the
polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel.  

NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR

MOTION.

Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed
by rubbing the surface with 

SCOTCH-BRITE

 scouring pads or 

STAINLESS

 scouring pads.  

DO

NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL

 as any particles left on the surface will rust and further

spoil the appearance of the finish.  

NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS

(EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS

.  Surfaces which are

marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean.  Marring also increases the
possibility of corrosive attack.  Refinishing may then be required.

TO REMOVE HEAT TINT

Darkened areas sometimes appear on the stainless steel surface where the area has been
subjected to excessive heat.  These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective
surface of the stainless steel and are not harmful.  Heat tint can normally be removed by the
foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the
direction of the polish lines using 

SCOTCH-BRITE

 scouring pads or a 

STAINLESS

 scouring

pad in combination with a powdered cleanser.  Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying
or by reducing heat to equipment during slack periods.
