It is important to prolong the life of the oven gasket by
cleaning this item on a daily basis. The acids and
related compounds found in fat, particularly chicken
fat, will weaken the composition of the gasket unless
cleaned on a daily basis.
Routine cleaning will help protect the composition of
the gasket from deterioration caused by acidic foods.
After allowing the oven to cool, remove pull-out
gasket and wash in hot, soapy water. Do not place
gasket in the dishwasher
Remove the screws holding the convection fan panel unto the
inside of the cooking chamber. Using a commercial degreaser
spray the back and front and allow the degreaser to soften the
grease for 10 minutes. Using a plastic scouring pad, scrub any
hard deposits and rinse with hot water.
Using a damp sponge and a plastic scouring pad if needed,
wipe out any grease deposits that may be built up on the area
surrounding the convection element and fan blade, taking
care not to bend the element or the blade. A degreaser may be
sprayed in this area to help dissolve any grease deposits that
may be built up, but only a damp cloth or sponge can be used
to remove the dissolved grease.
Reinstall fan panel and tighten screws finger tight.
UNIT MAY BE RUN AFTER CLEANING FOR 30-40
MINUTES TO AID IN DRYING, ALTHOUGH THERE MAY
BE SOME SMOKING, WHICH IS NORMAL.
Check for physical damage and loose screws. Correct any problems before they begin to interfere with the
operation of the oven.
