A compound of lukewarm water and dishwasher
detergent is recommended for cleaning the appli-
ance and equipment parts.
Use for stainless steel surfaces a good quality
stainless steel cleaner only.
Do not use abrasive or scouring sponges. Do not
use concentrated cleaning agents. NEVER use
abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.

water penetrates into the electrical
components when cleaning the appliance.
Do not use a sponge or cloth that is overly
wet.

CLEANING
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• Do not damage or remove the model plate on
the inside of the appliance. It is very important
for servicing your appliance.
Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning
with a good quality stainless steel cleaner or polish
monthly. High quality stainless steel cleaners and
conditioners are commercially available.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS or
ABRASIVE PADS. Do not use cleaners that are
not for use on stainless steel, such as glass,
tile or counter cleaners. These types of cleaners
can damage the surface permanently.
Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas and
moisture may have some discoloration. This discol-
oration is normal. If your unit is used in this environ-
ment, clean and polish your stainless steel more
often.
If the surface discolors or rusting appears, clean
it quickly with a non-abrasive cloth and protect it.
Always clean and polish in the direction of the grain
and finish.

the ventilation grille Figure 24.
