3. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.  

Baked-on splatter on the stainless exterior may be removed with any non-toxic stainless steel cleaner:

  1. Follow directions on your cleaning agent.
  2. Apply with a cloth, rubbing with the grain of the metal.  

CAUTION!!
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning cloths as this will scratch the finish of the stainless steel.

• INTERIOR CLEANING

  • Deck Surface
  1. Place the crumb tray on the oven door. See Figure 7.
  2. Using a scraper/brush (Figure 8), scrape the decks to remove baked on splatter.
  3. Using the brush, clean the deck until smooth.
  4. Using a damp cloth, lightly wipe down the surface of the deck.
     CAUTION!!
     Stones must be at room temperature.
     CAUTION!!
     Excessive water will be absorbed into the stone and risk of cracking may result. In the event of water absorbtion, see Deck Stone
     Dry-Out Procedure on the following page to avoid cracking.

• Oil Spills
  If oil spills on deck, DO NOT WIPE:

1.  Pour Kosher salt on the spill.
2.  Allow to absorb.  

Follow steps 1-4 under Deck Surface to remove the Kosher salt residue

Cleaning and Preventative Maintenance

Interior Walls
The aluminized surface may be kept clean and in good condition with mineral oil:

1. Allow the oven to cool.
2. Large amounts of baked on splatter may be removed with a brass scraper, gently applied.
3. Saturate a cloth with mineral oil and wipe the oven.
4. Mild dish detergent and water may also be used to clean the interior walls but be carefull not to spill water on the stone decks.
5. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
6. Remove residue from beneath the oven door with a small brush.
   CAUTION!!
   DO NOT use caustic solutions such as ammonia, lye or soda ash. DO NOT use domestic oven cleaners. Any of these products will damage the aluminum coating.

Deck Stone Dry-Out Procedure
If excess water is absorbed by the stone and then quickly heated, the boiling water expands and may crack the stone. To prevent cracking perform one of the following dry-out procedures:

1. Dry stones overnight at room temperature with the door open.
2. Set oven to 150ºF for 2 hours to slowly dry out the stone.

WEEKLY CLEANING

• Brush out the control area.
• In addition to the daily cleaning it is necessary to clean the air intakes on a weekly basis. Air intakes provide necessary cooling air to the internal components. They are generally located on the rear and sides of the equipment.

6 MONTH CLEANING
Clean secondary air ducts and air entry ports.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

• The best preventative maintenance measures are, the proper installation of the equipment and a program 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.
