Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance
CLEANING THE OVEN
Painted and stainless steel ovens may be kept
clean and in good condition with a light oil.
1. Saturate a cloth, and wipe the oven when it is
cold.
2. Dry the oven with a clean cloth.
On the stainless front or interiors, deposits of
baked on splatter may be removed with any nonĆ
toxic industrial stainless steel cleaner. Heat tint
and heavy discoloration may be removed with any
nonĆtoxic commercial oven cleaner.
1. Apply cleaners when the oven is cold, and alĆ
ways rub with the grain of the metal.
Clean Cordierite decks with a triangular scraper
used for cleaning broiler grids. IMPORTANT -
DO NOT use water or any other liquids to clean
the deck! Due to the porosity of the Cordierite,
cracking and/or spalling will often result if water is
used.
Clean the aluminized interior portion of the oven
with a mild detergent. DO NOT use caustic soluĆ
tions such as ammonia, lye or soda ash. DO NOT
use domestic oven cleaners. Any of these prodĆ
ucts will damage the aluminum coating.
Daily Cleaning
D Remove residue from beneath the doors with a
small broom or brush.
Weekly Cleaning
D Brush out the control area.
6 Month Cleaning
D Clean secondary air ducts and air entry ports.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The best preventative maintenance measures are,
the proper installation of the equipment and a proĆ
gram for routinely cleaning the ovens.
This oven requires no lubrication, however, the
venting system should be checked annually for
possible deterioration resulting from moisture and
corrosive flue products.
If maintenance or repairs are required, contact the
factory, the factory representative or a local
Blodgett service company.
WARNING!!
Disconnect the oven from the power supĆ
ply before servicing or cleaning.
