Cleaning
Southbend equipment is sturdily constructed of the best materials and is designed to provide durable service when treated
with ordinary care. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned
daily. Naturally, the periods for this care and cleaning depend on the amount and degree of usage.
Following daily and periodic maintenance procedures will enhance long life for your equipment. Climatic conditions (such
as salt air) may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the equipment could be adversely affected.
The oven interior is finished with a porcelain enamel coating. "Spillovers" should be cleaned from the interior bottom
surface as soon as possible to prevent carbonizing and a burnt-on condition. Grease or any residue should be cleaned
from interior surfaces as soon as it accumulates.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE APPLIANCE BEFORE CLEANING.
WHEN CLEANING THE BLOWER WHEEL, BE SURE TO HAVE THE POWER SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION.
Daily Cleaning
1. Turn the power switch to OFF and allow the oven to cool.
2. Remove the oven-interior racks and rack slide frames. (The rack slide frames are readily removable by merely raising
to disengage them from their sockets.) Wash the racks and rack slides in a sink with mild detergent and warm water.
Dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth.
3. Look to see if any foreign matter has accumulated on the blades of the blower wheel (which will reduce air circulation).
If necessary, remove the right-side lining of the oven, which is secured by thumbscrews near each corner. Use a stiff
brush to remove accumulations from the blower blades, then wash with soap and water.
4. Wash the interior surfaces with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly with a
clean cloth. For stubborn accumulations, a commercial oven cleaner may be used.
5. Clean the control panel with warm water and mild soap. Never use cleaning solvents with a hydrocarbon base.
6. Wipe the other exterior surfaces with a clean damp cloth. If the exterior surfaces require more thorough cleaning, see
"Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces" on the next page.
7. Return the rack slides and racks to their appropriate locations inside the oven.
8. LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN AT NIGHT AFTER CLEANING. This allows the oven to dry thoroughly after cleaning and
also prolongs the life of the door gasket.
Monthly Cleaning
Clean around the louvered panels on the front of the oven and the air holes on the rear of the oven where grease or lint
may have accumulated.
Semiannual Cleaning
At least twice a year have your Southbend Authorized Service Agency or another qualified service technician clean and
adjust the unit for maximum performance.
At least twice a year the oven's venting system should be examined and cleaned.
