Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly. Cooking equipment is no
exception. Your Imperial range and oven must be kept clean during the working day and thoroughly cleaned at the
end of the day.
DAILY:
GRIDDLES:
1.
Scrape with a nylon griddle scrapper to remove cooked on spills. Use a fine grained stone only when
absolutely necessary.
2.
Wipe away any griddle stone dust and 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 griddle warping and can
cause the griddle to crack if continued over a long period of time.
ALL OVENS:
1.
Remove the baking racks. Wash in hot soapy water and replace after the rest of the oven is cleaned.
2.
Remove the oven element cover 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 or element in the
oven.
7.
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.
CONVECTION OVEN:
8.
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 ½ hour, place the toggle switch
to the “COOL DOWN” position and open the door. When oven temperature is equal to room
temperature turn unit off.
CAUTION
NEVER USE AMMONIA IN AN OVEN THAT IS WARMER THAN
ROOM TEMPERATURE AND ALWAYS HAVE DIRECT VENTILATION!
WARNING
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING
