CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE WARMING DRAWER
■ Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance, particularly the drawer box and back of the drawer face. All parts
of the drawer can be cleaned with a hot soapy damp cloth, rinsed, dried and buffed with a heavy pile cloth.
Always try this first, as it is the mildest cleaning procedure.
■ Be sure the Warming Drawer is turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or
cause metal parts to corrode.
■ Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some brands of cleaners are harsher than others, read their directions.
Try on a small area first.
■ To avoid marring the surface always rub the metal finishes in the direction of the polish grain lines. The cleaner
will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
■ Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, plastic or non-metal soap pads for cleaning or scouring, as
recommended in this section. (
Caution: some soap pads can scratch).
■ Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid water marks.
■ Remove food particles after every used.
