How to Clean a Combi Oven
Regular cleaning of commercial kitchen equipment helps ensure proper unit operation. Below are recommendations for cleaning a combi oven. For protection, all personnel involved in cleaning commercial kitchen equipment need to wear chemical splash goggles and impervious gloves.
How to Safely Clean Your Commercial Combi Oven
Before starting your daily or monthly cleaning routine, follow these essential safety precautions:
- Allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
- Avoid harsh chemicals such as high-alcohol, chlorine, or chlorinated cleaners.
- Use only non-abrasive tools—never scrapers, coarse materials, or steel wool on stainless steel surfaces.
Daily Cleaning Checklist
- Rinse the steam generator using the automatic or manual rinsing process.
- Remove surface discolorations in the oven chamber with an OEM-approved cleaner, then wipe with a soft cloth or sponge.
- Clean the suction plate/fan guard and the fan area behind it.
- Wipe the interior of glass doors with a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth.
- Wash the door gasket with mild, scent-free dish detergent and a soft cloth, then let it air dry.
- Remove food residue and drippings from the tray and outflow in the oven chamber.
- Spray an OEM-approved cleaner on the tray and outflow; after it takes effect, rinse thoroughly with a hand shower.
- Remove white water deposits inside the chamber with vinegar and a soft cloth.
Monthly Cleaning Checklist
- Descale the steam generator at least once per month.
- Install a water treatment system to prevent serious scale buildup.
- Delime interior chamber components with an OEM-approved cleaner.
