Maintenance Tips
- Clean interior daily using approved non-abrasive combi-oven cleaner; remove grease before it hardens to protect Structured Air Technology performance.
- Run automatic self-clean cycles (if enabled) regularly to prevent buildup in chambers and fan areas.
- Wipe door gaskets and seals after every shift to maintain airtight cooking and energy efficiency.
- Inspect fan, air channels, and chamber walls for food debris to ensure even multi-chamber cooking performance.
- Descale as needed based on water quality to prevent mineral buildup on internal components and fans.
- Check temperature probes and sensors frequently for accurate multi-zone cooking control.
- Keep ventilation and rear clearance areas clean for proper airflow and ventless operation efficiency.
- Avoid chlorine or harsh chemicals that can damage stainless steel and internal electronics.
- Ensure ChefLinc / control software is updated for optimal recipe accuracy and diagnostics.
- Schedule preventive professional servicing to maintain high-volume consistency, uptime, and efficiency.
