USER MAINTENANCE
Disinfecting
Disinfect the oven if algae, mold, bacteria, or other biological contaminants are an issue. For
maximum effectiveness, disinfection procedures are typically performed after cleaning.
Keep the following points in mind when disinfecting the oven:
• Turn off and disconnect the unit to safeguard against electrical hazards.
• Disinfect the oven chamber using commercially available disinfectants that are non-
corrosive, non-abrasive, and suitable for use on stainless steel and glass surfaces. Contact
your local Site Safety Officer for detailed information on which disinfectants are compatible
with your applications.
• If permitted by your protocol, remove all removable interior accessories (shelving and other
non-attached items) from the chamber when disinfecting.
• Disinfect all surfaces in the chamber, making sure to thoroughly disinfect the corners.
Exercise care to avoid damaging the sensor probes.
• When disinfecting external surfaces, use disinfectants that will not damage painted metal,
glass, and plastic.
DOOR COMPONENTS
Periodically, inspect the door latch, trim, catch, and gasket for signs of deterioration. Failure to maintain
the integrity of the door system shortens the life span of the oven.
These ovens use snap-in fiberglass door gaskets. The only tool required for swapping out these
gaskets is a cutting implement for tailoring the length of the new gasket. Use proper PPE for handling
exposed fiberglass when making the cuts.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Electrical components do not require maintenance. If the unit electrical systems fail to operate as
specified, please contact your distributor or Technical Support for assistance.
