Cleaning Procedure (Continued)
1. Turn the ON/OFF lever counter-clockwise (up) so that the white reference marker on the lever is
pointing directly left to turn the power OFF, de-energize all controls, and drain the steamer. The
appliance will begin a 3-minute drain rinse cycle to clean the drain system
2. Open the cooking compartment door and allow steamer to cool.
3. Remove any spilled food from the surface of the KleanShield™.
Never push food scraps down the KleanShield™ opening or the reservoir drain opening.
•
4. Remove the slide racks, fan guard and KleanShield™. Wash and rinse slide racks, fan guard and
KleanShield™ separately or clean them in a dishwasher according to health requirements.
5. Remove any spilled food from inside compartment and clear any residue from the drain valve and the
KleanShield™ drain opening.
• Do not push food debris or scale down the steamer drain, or through the KleanShield™ drain.
6. Clean the interior of the compartment thoroughly, removing all food particles and scale from the
steamer.
7. Wipe down the interior of the cooking compartment with a half water and half white household vinegar
solution. Use a spray bottle of the same vinegar solution to rinse the convection fan located at the
back of the cooking compartment.
When done daily this will help prevent the buildup of calcium and other mineral deposits left over
•
from the boiling of water, and prevent scale buildup in the steamer, helping prevent more costly
maintenance and service on the steamer.
• Cleveland Range does not recommend the use of detergent, but if detergent has been used to
clean the inside of the steamer, be sure to rinse off the probe assembly with the vinegar solution.
If detergent residue is not completely rinsed from the probe assembly then the residue can
prevent the water level control from operating.
8. Use a soft bristle brush to clean the water sensor, temperature probe, and fan and to remove
stubborn food particles.
9. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or steel wool.
10. Rinse the inside of steamer compartment and drain valve thoroughly with clean water.
11. Inspect the probe assembly and clean it with a soft bristle brush or similar non-abrasive cleaning
means.
12. Clean the door assembly.
a. Remove the door gasket assembly (see Figure 6-1).
b. Note the keyhole slots on the door and the retaining pins on
the gasket assembly. Grasp the gasket assembly at the
sides and lift up and towards you to remove the assembly.
c. Clean all surfaces of the gasket assembly, as well as the
inside of the door, by wiping with a damp cloth.
d. Rotate the liner assembly 180° and replace the gasket
assembly by sliding the retaining pins into the keyhole slots.
Either long edge of the gasket assembly can be positioned
at the top. Periodic rotating of the door assembly will help
increase the door gasket life.
13. Replace the cleaned KleanShield™, slide racks and fan
guard. (See Chapter 3.)
14. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth only.
15. NEVER HOSE DOWN THE STEAMER. Electrical components inside the unit will not function
correctly if wet or damp and may cause a shock hazard.
16. After cleaning, leave the steamer door open until the next steamer operation. This prevents
compartment odor buildup and helps increase gasket life.
