If you own a restaurant or work in the food production industry, your commercial ovens are top priorities. Commercial Refrigeration of KY in Somerset wants to help you keep your commercial oven in the best shape possible, so they’ve compiled some cleaning and maintenance pointers.

5 Tips for Maintaining Your Commercial Oven

Clean the Fans Daily 

It doesn’t matter if you use the oven sparingly or all day and night—it’s important to keep the fans clean. To function efficiently, your oven needs to be able to release excess heat, which is why you should clean the fans every day to prevent grease buildup.

Inspect the Seal Periodically 

Over time, the seals on your commercial oven can crack, letting heat escape and affecting your cooking time and oven temperature. If you want your oven to bake consistently, inspect your seals every few weeks and whenever you notice problems.

If you have a convection oven, clean the inside with specially formulated oven cleaner and don’t touch the temperature gauge. If you have a conveyor oven, it can usually be cleaned with a wet rag or light oven cleaner. You should never use water or caustic oven cleaners, which can spur rust and damage.

Clean Electrical Terminals 

Over time, the electrical terminals on your oven will gather dust and dirt that need to be cleaned off. While cleaning the terminals, you should also tighten the screws.

Order Professional Maintenance 

Nothing beats professional service! To ensure your commercial oven is up to code, hire a licensed cooking equipment expert several times a year.
