Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
A good preventive maintenance program begins with the
daily cleaning procedure. Additional preventive mainte-
nance operations are presented in this section. In estab-
lishments that employ full-time maintenance personnel,
the tasks described can be assigned to them. For other
installations, tasks requiring mechanical or electrical ex
-
perience should be performed by an authorized service
agency.
The following paragraphs set for minimum preventive
maintenance procedures that must be completed peri-
odically to assure continued trouble-free operation of the
cooker.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should hardware
(or parts) be replaced with a different length,
size, or type other than as specified in the
parts list. The hardware used in the cooker
has been selected or designed specifically for
its application, and the use of other hardware
may damage the equipment and will void any
warranty.
NOTICE
As a safety precaution, disconnect the power
supply during cleaning or servicing.
WARNING
The steamer and its parts are hot. Use care
when operating, cleaning or servicing the
steamer. The cooking compartment contains
live steam. Stay clear when opening door.
WEEKLY CLEANING
Weekly, or more often if necessary...
1. Clean exterior with a damp cloth and polish with a soft
dry cloth.
2. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to remove discolorations.
3.

accumulated.
MONTHLY - REMOVAL OF SCALE DEPOSITS

Before beginning deliming procedures, ensure that water
is not overflowing into the cooking compartment.
