WARNING
Shut off the gas supply to the appliance before cleaning or performing maintenance on any gas appliance.
The appliance may be equipped with a restraint device to limit its movement in order to prevent damage to the
gas connection. If disconnection of this restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning or
maintenance, reconnect the restraint when the appliance is moved back to its original installed position.
Southbend appliances are sturdily constructed of the best materials and are 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.
Keep exposed, cleanable areas clean at all times.

URFACES
To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel surfaces that operate at LOW temperature,
use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth.
To remove BAKED-ON grease and food splatter, or condensed vapors; apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and
rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser, as gently as possible,
in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR
MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing
the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL
