CLEANING
1) Remove the pan/tray slides by lifting the inner side panels up
and out. Wash tray slides with non-chlorinated cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly and allow to dry before re-installing.
2) Vinyl trim should be washed with a chlorine-free detergent
and water.. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow to dry.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish or other sub-
stances containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol. Use of
direct steam/hot water at temperatures above 190°F may
result in bubbling or loosening of vinyl adhesive.
3) To clean stainless steel surfaces, use only cleaners, deter-
gents, degreasers or sanitizers that are certified to be chloride
-free and phosphate-free and only in recommended concen-
trations. DO NOT exceed recommended concentrations or
mixing ratios. After cleaning and sanitizing, rinse all exposed
surfaces thoroughly with large amounts of clear water. Wipe
off any standing liquid or residue from all horizontal surfaces
in corners, or near edges.

CAUTION:
Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that contain chlorides or phosphates
will cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. The damage appears as pits, eruptions, voids,
small holes, cracks, severe discoloration, or dulling of the metal finish. Water with high chloride content
can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water quality, we recommend you have it tested.
