Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution such
as 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water.
Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water.
Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. If the door panel is stainless steel, it can
discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a cloth
dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or caustic
cleaning agent.
