CARE & CLEANING
Motor Base/Control Panel
1.
Unplug the power cord.
2. Wash the outside surface with a damp soft cotton cloth moistened with
a mild solution of warm water* and nonabrasive detergent or
nonabrasive liquid spray cleaner.
NEVER IMMERSE MOTOR BASE IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
3.
For models with electronic controls:
Be careful to not scratch or
scrub the display window on the control panel. Use a soft cloth to wipe
the control panel area clean. The display window area will scratch when
contacted with a scouring pad or sharp object.
4.
For models with switches:
Thoroughly clean switches so that they
move freely. They may become sticky. Use a wet cloth, moistened with
water* and a mild detergent, to clean around the edges of the switch
paddles until they function freely. Work the switches back and forth a
few times to loosen any dried residue under switch. Leaving switches
sticky will damage or burn out the switches. Clean carefully, using
caution not to allow water or other liquids to infiltrate the switch.
5. Dry with a soft cotton cloth.
* Be sure to wring excess water out of cloth or sponge when cleaning
around the controls or any electrical part.
