1. Remove food containers to refrigerated storage as soon as serving is completed. Turn off steam and drain all steam wells before cleaning.
   
   
2. Brush-wash all surfaces with a hot solution of Food Service Degreaser. This includes top, backboard, hoods (if any) front and sides. If baked-on foods are stubborn, use a dull metal/plastic scraper to remove them.
   
   
3. Rinse with hot water and wipe dry.

   NOTE: Periodic deliming may be necessary if lime scale develops. If so, continue with the following method.
   
   

4. Fill steam wells with water and add delimer.
