Commercial Rotisserie Oven Cleaning
Commercial kitchen equipment is tough on work but also needs you to be tough on your cleaning schedule. Staying on top of preventative maintenance means equipment will last longer and work harder. Below you can find all our tips on commercial rotisserie oven cleaning and what to put on your schedule. Always make sure you are checking your specific manufacturer’s manual to get detailed steps and recommendations.
Daily Cleaning
Keeping up with daily cleaning will help prevent build-up and major cleaning down the line.
- Wipe down doors - Make sure to use a soft cloth to wipe any splatter or grease from the oven doors on a daily basis.
- Empty grease drawer - If your rotisserie oven has a grease trap or tray, make sure to empty that daily and remove any grease with warm soapy water.
- Wipe down interior - At the end of every day, the oven interior needs to be wiped down with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Make sure that you are not using too much water and check your specific model’s manual for any recommended practices.
Weekly Cleaning
- Clean gaskets - Door seals and gaskets are essential and require a wipe down every so often. Make sure you are gently wiping away any grease that has formed on these.
- Self-cleaning features - If your commercial rotisserie oven has a self-cleaning feature, make sure you take advantage of that. Use a self-cleaning feature on a regular basis to take advantage and easily keep ovens clean.
- Exterior cleaning - The exterior needs a thorough cleaning every once in a while. Many rotisserie ovens are made of stainless steel, so make sure to wipe down with the grain. Depending on your manufacturer’s recommended cleaner, you can either use soapy water or stainless steel cleaner.
Monthly Cleaning
- Checks and management - On a monthly basis, it is good to check any rollers, gaskets and other small parts to ensure that they are working and not damaged. Frequently checking these helps you catch any damaged parts before they cause malfunctions.
- Fan cleaning - Any fan blades or air venting should be cleaned from any build-up. Always gently wash or wipe any fan/air parts and ensure that they are dried thoroughly before
- Burner cleaning - Commercial rotisserie oven cleaning needs to include wiping down the burner. Clearing any debris or build-up from the burners helps to keep them clear and working. Try using a paperclip to remove any debris stuck in the burner openings.
