CLEANING
Turn the main power switch OFF, unplug and allow the unit to cool be-
fore cleaning. Remove the heating unit; simply lift up and off the top of
the cabinet. DO NOT spray or splash water on the heater, control panel,
timer or wiring.
1. Racks or shelves are easily removed with tools for cleaning, Remove
fasteners that secure racks in place, lift up and pull out. The tray racks
may be hand washed or run through an automatic washer.
2. To clean stainless steel surfaces use only cleansers, detergents, de-
greasers, 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 con-
centrations 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.
3. Vinyl trim should be washed with a chlorine-free detergent and water.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow to dry. Never use abra-
sive cleaners, waxes, car polish, or substances containing strong aro-
matic 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.
