heater cord/handle with one hand
and the rear of the heater unit with
the other. Lift heater up and then out.
4. Racks or shelves are easily removed without tools for clean-
ing. Simply lift up and pull out. The tray slides may be hand
washed or run through an automatic dishwasher.

er 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 (88°C)
may result in bubbling or loosening of vinyl adhesive.

gents, degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to be
“chloride-free” and “phosphate-free”. DO NOT exceed recom-
mended 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.
Use of cleaning agents that are not recommended for stainless steel may cause permanent damage to the cabinet.
THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
