Professional cleaning of cooking-steam and smoking ovens is a key activity ensuring their proper functioning and longevity. These devices are an indispensable element of professional kitchen equipment, both in restaurants, where they are the basis for preparing various dishes. Keeping ovens clean is not only a matter of aesthetics, but above all, hygiene, energy efficiency and safety of use.
Cleanliness and hygiene affect the quality of prepared dishes
Failure to regularly clean convection steam ovens can lead to the accumulation of grease, food residue and other contaminants, which over time can affect the taste and smell of the food being prepared. What’s more, the accumulated dirt can lead to the growth of bacteria and mold. This poses a serious health risk. Regular cleaning of ovens is also a way to avoid problems related to technical failures, which can be the result of contamination affecting the operation of individual components of the device.
How to start cleaning convection steam ovens?
Where to start? Well, cleaning ovens must begin with the proper preparation of the device. In the first phase, the device should be disconnected from the power source, which will ensure the safety of cleaning. Then, wait for the oven to cool down, if it has been used recently. When the oven has cooled down, you need to remove all trays, grates and other elements of the oven that can be removed. Loose food remains and other dirt are best removed with a brush or cloth.
Cleaning the inside of the oven
First of all, cleaning the inside of the oven is a step that requires the use of appropriate cleaning agents designed for this type of device. Dedicated preparations that perfectly remove grease such as Clinex Smog will work well for this type of device. It will easily deal with thick layers of soot and dirt, eliminating the need for troublesome scrubbing. All thanks to its alkaline formula and concentrated form.
Ovens that have a self-cleaning or automatic cleaning mode are connected to a special dispenser that doses Clinex Smog and Clinex DiShine for neutralisation and polishing. What’s next? After a few minutes, turn off the cooking function at 50-60 degrees and wait until the dirt on the walls of the oven flows down to the bottom of the device. After the oven has cooled down, wipe the inside of the oven thoroughly and rinse gently with clean water. If the oven does not have a self-cleaning function – it is worth using Clinex Grill.
Cleaning accessories
Just as important as the interior of the stove is cleaning its moving, internal parts such as the grates and grill. Which preparation should I use? For this purpose, thanks to its exceptional cleaning power, Clinex Grill will be perfect, which will dissolve baked-on grease even from hard-to-reach places. What do you need to do? Just put the above accessories in the container and spray Clinex Grill thoroughly. After a few moments, grease and other dirt will be easy to remove with a microfiber cloth. You should also remember to rinse thoroughly with clean water.
The front of the oven, handles, buttons and display also require regular cleaning to maintain an aesthetic appearance and ensure hygienic working conditions. For this purpose, it is best to use Clinex FastGast , which removes greasy and oily dirt. Thanks to its ability to emulsify fat, it dissolves strong and persistent oil and fat dirt, burnt food residues, without leaving streaks and smudges on the cleaned surfaces.
Regularity and maintenance
Regular cleaning of ovens is essential. Depending on the intensity of use, a full oven cleaning should be carried out at least once a week in professional kitchens and at least once a month in domestic conditions. Daily removal of loose dirt and wiping down of the external parts of the oven will keep the appliance in good condition on a daily basis and facilitates more thorough cleaning.
Keeping your combi steamers clean is also an investment in their longevity. Regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of dirt that can cause breakdowns and the need for expensive repairs. In addition, a clean oven works more efficiently, which translates into lower energy consumption and lower bills.
