Maintenance
The cabinet is finished with stainless steel and to maintain appearance should be wiped over with a
non abrasive cleanser. The chamber is manufactured from stainless steel and may be cleaned with
a solvent and if grained stainless steel chamber a stainless steel scratch pad may be used. The
pad should be rubbed in the same direction as the grain pattern of the stainless steel.
The silicone gasket should be cleaned with detergent only, ensuring it is dried completely after
washing. To prolong life it may be stored at cool temperatures in a container of water. Gasket
lubricant is available to provide prolonged life and better sealing on the gasket.
The locking pins should be regularly greased with high temperature grease to reduce binding in the
guides.
