CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Daily Cleaning
Daily cleaning of the appliance is essential for sanitation,
and to ensure against operational difficulties. The stain-
less steel cavity may corrode with improper cleaning of
the oven. Use an oven cleaning detergent in conjunction
with the supplied spray bottle.
For difficult cleaning, allow the spray-on oven cleaner to
work longer before rinsing.
1. Cool the appliance down to 140ºF (60ºC) or, if the
oven has been idle, turn the Hydro mode on
for 3 to 4 minutes in order to warm the cavity
surfaces.
2. Fill the spray bottle and pump air into
the container with the pressure pump.
3. Spray the interior of the oven with a cleaning
solution. Be certain to spray cleaner through the fan
guard to cover all surfaces.
NOTE: Never spray water into the appliance when
the temperature is above 212ºF (100ºC).
4. Let the cleaner work the time recommended by
the cleaning solution manufacturer. For difficult,
baked on grease, etc. allow to work over night.
5. Set the timer for 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Run the oven at 225ºF (107ºC) in the Hydro mode
with 100% humidity. This will soften all burned on
residue.
7. Rinse the appliance interior with water
(a hose is supplied, but take care that only the
interior cavity is sprayed with water). Wipe the interior
dry after rinsing.
8. The door should be kept slightly open after cleaning.
This will allow the oven to vent and increase the life
of the door gasket.
On stainless interiors, deposits of baked on splatter, oil,
grease or light discoloration may be removed with a
good non toxic industrial stainless steel cleaner. Ap-
ply cleaners when the oven is cold and always rub with
the grain of the metal. The racks, rack supports and the
blower wheel may be cleaned in the oven or by removing
them from the oven and soaking them in a solution of
ammonia and water.
NOTE: DO NOT use corrosive cleaners not intended for
oven cleaning on your Hydrovection oven.
Recommended cleaners:
• ECOLAB - Greasecutter Plus
• CELLO - EZ Clean
• Diversey-Lever - Advance Oven Cleaner
WARNING!!
Be sure to read and follow the MSDS or
safety instructions on the bottle for your oven
cleaner.
