MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Continued
for at least 20 minutes before using pots or pans on the top
grates . SEASONING OF THE TOP GRATES WILL BE REQUIRED
WHENEVER THEY HAVE BEEN CLEANED . FAILURE TO SEASON
GRATES WILL CAUSE RUSTING .

Stainless Steel

For routine cleaning just wash with a hot water and
detergent solution . Wash just a small area at a time or the
water will evaporate leaving the chemicals behind causing
streaking .
Rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped in a
sanitizing solution and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth
before it can dry .
Use a paste (of water and a mild scouring powder) if you
have to, but never rub against the grain . All stainless steel has
been polished in one direction . Rub with the polish lines to
preserve the original finish . Then thoroughly rinse as before .
To prevent fingerprints there are several stainless steel
polishes on the market that leave an oily or waxy film . Do not
use on surfaces that will be in contact with food .
Stainless steel may discolor if overheated . These stains can
usually be removed by vigorous rubbing with a scouring
powder paste .
Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools if necessary
to scrape off heavy deposits of grease and oil . Do not use
ordinary steel scrapers or knives, as particles of the iron may
become imbedded and rust . STEEL WOOL SHOULD NEVER BE
USED .
Either a typical bleach solution or hot water can be used to
sanitize stainless steel .

Interior Cleaning of Standard Aluminized

Steel Interior Surfaces

The oven sides and top linings are formed of heavy gauge
steel with an aluminum fused into its surface to provide
for the reflectance of heat back to the food being prepared
and to virtually eliminate the possibility of rust formation .
Establish a regular cleaning schedule or wipe off on the same
day when spillovers occur .
1 . Cool down oven .
2 . Remove oven racks .
3 . Lift rack guides on either side of oven off of holders, pull
the top away from the cavity wall, when it's cleared the
clips push down and remove . Racks and guides may
be run through dishwasher while oven cavity is being
cleaned .
4 . Use a concentrated detergent on a plastic pad to remove
burned on soil . Do Not Use Steel Wool, Oven Cleaner Or
Abrasive Powders . These will remove the aluminum . Rinse
with warm water on a soft cloth . Be sure to remove all
traces of detergent . Any discoloration, which may remain
after the soil build-up has been removed, will not affect
the performance of the oven .
5 . To reinstall reverse procedure . Place the bottom of the
rack guide against the cavity wall . Keeping the top pulled
away from the wall lift up . Push the top of the rack guide
against the wall and push down locking it into place .

Open Top Burners

Cleaning of the range top burner is a simple procedure, and,
if done at regular intervals will prolong the life of the range
and ensure good flame characteristics .
1 . The most common problem with open burner ranges is
spillage . Once the burner ports are partially plugged with
food, the air-to-gas mixture is disturbed and results in an
inefficient burner .
2 . Wipe any spills as they occur .
3 . Grids and trays should be removed daily, washed, rinsed
and dried thoroughly .
4 . Use a wire brush to clean the ports of the burners . Ignite
and check for clogged holes .
