Preventive Maintenance

In addition to the routine cleaning and maintenance
procedures, there are several additional steps to be taken for
both sanitation purposes and to keep the oven running at top
operating efficiency. These additional safeguards will help
prevent inconvenient down time and costly repairs.
G DO NOT DISPOSE OF GREASE, FAT, OR SOLID
WASTE DOWN THE OVEN DRAIN.
Fats and solids will eventually coagulate in the drain system, causing blockage. Consequently, water will
back-up into the condenser and interior oven compartment, resulting in an oven that is inoperable.
G MAKE CERTAIN THE DRAIN SCREEN IS ALWAYS IN PLACE. REMOVE ANY SOLID WASTE
MATERIAL FROM THE DRAIN SCREEN BEFORE IT ENTERS THE DRAIN SYSTEM. The routine
removal of solids from the drain screen will help prevent blockage.
G USE THE AUTHORIZED COMBITHERM OVEN CLEANER ONLY. The use of unauthorized
cleaning agents may discolor or harm the interior surfaces of the oven.
G TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE DOOR GASKET, REMOVE AND CLEAN THIS ITEM DAILY.
The acids and related compounds found in fat, particularly chicken fat, will considerably weaken the
composition of the gasket unless cleaned on a daily basis.
G TO ADDITIONALLY PROTECT GASKET LIFE, ALLOW OVEN DOOR TO REMAIN SLIGHTLY
OPEN AT THE END OF THE PRODUCTION DAY. An open door will relieve the pressure on the
door gasket.
G ROUTINELY CLEAN DOOR HINGES. Open oven door to relieve tension. Clean all parts of the hinge.

Routine Cleaning Requirements

DAILY OVEN CLEANING

To be performed at the end of each production day or between production shifts.
DAILY STEAM GENERATOR FLUSH
When operating the oven on a regular basis, the steam generator must be flushed once a day. This
procedure will prevent lime deposits and scale build-up from forming in the steam generator. A steam
generator flush is automatically initiated during the cleaning function on S-control models.
REGULAR DECALCIFICATION
It is VERY important to decalcify the steam generator, particularly in areas with extremely hard water. This
procedure should be performed once a month, or more frequently depending on usage and water conditions
in addition to the daily steam generator flush.
