CLEANING
Weekly, or more often if necessary:
1. Clean exterior with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth.
2. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to remove discolorations.
It is NOT RECOMMENDED to use cleaning agents that are corrosive.
Use of cleaning agents that contain chloride, acids or salts which are corrosive may cause
pitting and corrosion when used over a period of time; this will reduce the life of the appliance.
Should pitting or corrosion occur, this is not covered by warranty.

NEVER SPRAY WATER INTO ELECTRIC CONTROLS OR LOUVRES.

plastic or rubber gloves to avoid skin contact. If CLR® comes in
contact with skin, rinse with clean water.
