CLEANING & CABINET MAINTENANCE
Turn the main power switch OFF, unplug and allow the unit to
cool completely before cleaning. DO NOT spray or splash water
on the heater, control panel, timer or wiring.
1. Tray slides are easily removed without tools for cleaning,
Simply lift up and pull out. The tray slides may be hand
washed or run through an automatic washer.
2. Before cleaning, unplug the heating assembly. Remove the
heater by grasping handles on each side of the heater. Pull
up and lift out. Disconnect power cord from heater assembly
before removing completely.
3. To clean stainless steel surfaces use only cleansers,
detergents, degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to be
"chloride-free"
and
"phosphate-free,"
and
cleansers,
degreasers, or sanitizers only in the recommended
concentrations. DO NOT exceed recommended concentra-
tions or mixing ratios. After cleaning and sanitizing, rinse all
exposed surfaces thoroughly with large amounts of clean,
clear water. Wipe off any standing liquid or residue from all
surfaces, corners and rear edges.
4. Vinyl trim should be washed with a chlorine-free detergent
and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow to
dry. Never use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish, or
substances containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol.
Use of direct steam / hot water cleaning at temperatures
above 190°F may result in “bubbling” or loosening of vinyl
adhesive.

IMPORTANT: Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers or bleaching agents that contain chlorides or
phosphates will cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. This damage appears as pits,
eruptions, voids, small holes, cracks, severe discolorations or dulling of the metal finish. Water with a high
chlorine content can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water quality, we recommend you have it
tested. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR, AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
