General Cleaning and Care Instructions for Stainless Steel:
IMPORTANT: Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge
are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
Stainless steel will stain or rust if not cared for properly. Please pay attention to the following guidelines:
1. Use the proper tools – Use non-abrasive tools, such as a soft cloth or plastic cleaning pad. NEVER
use steel wool pads, soap filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, cleaners containing chlorine, Cooktop
Polishing Creme, or gritty washcloths.
2. Clean with the polish lines – Always scrub in a direction that is parallel to the grain or lines in the
stainless steel.
3. Clean regularly – Make cleaning easier by doing so frequently to avoid build-up of hard, stubborn
stains. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated, or non-chloride containing cleaners.
4. Rinse and wipe – Anytime chemicals are used to clean stainless steel, make sure to rinse afterward with
clean water and wipe away any standing water.
5. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel.
Recommended cleaners for specific situations:
Stainless steel needs to be cleaned for aesthetic considerations and to preserve corrosion resistance. Stainless
steel actually thrives with frequent cleaning, and, unlike some other materials, it is impossible to “wear out”
stainless steel by excessive cleaning.
Routine cleaning - Use warm water, liquid detergent, ammonia, or all-purpose cleaner. Apply with soft cloth or
sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Food spills - Clean Immediately. Use a stainless steel cleaner and polish. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge.
Fingerprints and smears - Use a stainless steel cleaner and polish or glass cleaner. Apply with a soft cloth or
sponge.
Hard water spots - Remove with vinegar. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge.

1. Turn off unit. Wait 60 seconds before opening door.
2. Open door, remove bucket, and empty cullet.
3. Replace bucket and shut door.
4. Clean outside of unit per General Cleaning and Care Instructions for Stainless Steel above.
