5.5 Cleaning guidelines for non-stick coated surfaces
Several parts of your rotisserie may have a non-stick coating surface. Abrasion and caustic
chemicals reduce the life of the coating. With proper care, the non-stick coating surface should
provide a long life of easy-to-clean service.
DO NOT do the following:
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, Scotch-Brite pads, plastic wash pads, or other abrasive
cleaning aids (abrasive pads remove the coating over time significantly reducing the life of the
coating).
Do not use sharp instruments such as knives, forks, scrapers, or metal objects of any kind.
Do not use oven cleaners.
CAUTION: The chemicals components of some sanitizers can attack the non-stick surface if the
sanitizer is not diluted to its recommended strength causing the coating to peel.
Do not attempt to burn-off or bake-off surface contamination.
Do not operate more than eight hours without cleaning.
Cleaning of Non-stick Coated Surfaces (Routine Cleaning):
1. Clean at the end of each cook cycle.
2. Allow surfaces to cool before cleaning.
3. Mix a mild dish washing soap in warm water and use a soft cloth or sponge to remove
grease and food residue immediately after the coated component has cooled.
4. Rinse with clean water and let dry.
5. Wipe a light vegetable oil into the surface to condition the surface. Do not use vegetable
oil cooking spray.
How to Clean Severe Build-up on Non-stick Coated Surfaces:
Do not use this procedure for routine cleaning.
After successive cook cycles without cleaning, some food residues may become more difficult to
remove.
If severe build-up is a regular problem, cleaning schedules should be re-evaluated.
1. Mix the following solution:
3 tablespoons of bleach
1 tablespoon liquid dish washing detergent
1 cup of water
2. Use a sponge or a cloth to apply solution to affected areas. “Plastic” wash pads designed
for use on non-stick cookware may be necessary for severe build-up, but never use steel
pads.
3. Thoroughly rinse with clean water and let dry.
4. Condition with vegetable oil.
