• Empty grease trays and drip pans: Clean frequently to reduce buildup, smoke, and fire hazards.

• Wipe stainless steel surfaces: Use a soft cloth with mild detergent to keep the exterior sanitary and corrosion-resistant.

• Clean oven interior weekly: Remove racks and wipe the porcelain-lined cavity to maintain even heat and prevent grease accumulation.

• Inspect gas connections and controls: Check valves, fittings, and ignition components periodically for safe and reliable operation.

• Ensure proper ventilation and leveling: Maintain adequate clearance around the range for safe high-BTU commercial operation.
