HAZARD OF INJURY OR BURN!
ALLOW UNIT TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
Use care not to burn yourself and never touch or
attempt to adjust tray/pan slides, remove or adjust
uprights or air tunnel until tunnel has cooled!
WARNING
Helpful Preventive Deep-Cleaning Hints:
■ Wipe up spills as soon as possible.
■ Clean regularly to avoid heavy dirt build-up.
■ Place a sheet pan one-half full of water in the bottom
rack position. The water evaporates, increasing humidity,
and the pan will catch spills, grease, and drippings
during operation.
Preventive Maintenance:
■ Proper clearance and ventilation to cool the motors.
■ Create a schedule for routinely cleaning.
■ Clean vent louvers and holes.
■ Do not flood or allow electrical parts to become wet.
■ Remove interior tray slide assemblies for full cleaning.
■ A stainless steel cleaner / polish is recommended for the
exterior to maintain a “like-new” appearance.
WARNING: Always disconnect the unit from
the power supply before servicing or cleaning.
Service Maintenance:
If service, parts, or repairs are required, contact your local
FWE Authorized Service Agency, a factory representative,
or the FWE Company directly for a complete listing.
Maintaining the Interior:
Stainless steel interior may be kept clean and in good condition
with a light cooking oil.
■ Unplug the unit from the power source.
■ Remove the racks and rack supports.
■ Saturate a cloth, and wipe interior when it is cold.
■ Dry with a clean cloth.
