However, if the film is damaged, the
stainless steel can break down and rust.
CLEANING
WARNING:
Always
UNPLUG
ELECTRICAL
PREVENTIVE CARE:
To prevent stainless steel break-
down, follow these steps:
POWER SUPPLY before cleaning.
DAILY:
1.
Never use any metal tools,
scrapers, files, wire brushes,
or scouring pads (except for
stainless steel scouring pads,)
which will mar the surface.
1.
2.
Unplug electrical power supply.
Allow warmer to cool before
cleaning.
3.
Clean the interior of the cabinet
with a mild soap and water.
Never use harsh chemicals or
abrasive pads to clean the cabinet.
2.
3.
Never use steel wool – which
will leave behind particles that will
rust.
Never use acid-based or
chloride containing cleaning
solutions – which will break
down the protective film.
4.
5.
Rinse and dry with a soft dry
cloth.
Clean the exterior of the cabinet
with a clean damp cloth.
4.
5.
Never rub in a circular motion.
Always rub gently in the direction
of the steel grain.
HEAVY-DUTY CLEANING:
For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm
water, a degreaser, and a plastic,
stainless steel, or Scotch-Brite pad.
Never rub in a circular motion -- rub
gently in the direction of the steel grain.
Always rinse thoroughly.
Never leave any food products
or salt on the surface. Many
foods are acidic. Salt contains
chloride.
PRESERVING & RESTORING:
Special stainless steel polishing
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
cleaners can preserve and restore the
protective film.
CLEANING:
Stainless Steel contains 70 – 80% iron,
which will rust if not properly maintained.
Stainless Steel also contains 12 – 30%
chromium, which forms an invisible
passive, protective film that shields
against corrosion.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a
regular application of a high-quality
stainless steel polishing cleaner, as a
final step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore
If the protective film remains intact, the
stainless steel will remain intact.

surface. Then, on a daily basis, apply a
high-quality stainless steel polish
according to manufacturer’s instructions.
To reduce heat tint, limit the exposure of
equipment to excessive heat.
HEAT TINT:
MAINTENANCE
Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” may
appear on stainless steel exposed to
excessive heat. Excessive heat causes
the protective film to thicken. This is
unsightly, but is not a sign of permanent
damage.
WARNING;
The Cabinet and its parts are HOT.
Be very careful when Operating,
Cleaning, or Servicing the cabinet.
ALWAYS: UNPLUG ELECTRICAL
To remove heat tint, follow the routine
cleaning procedure. Stubborn heat tint
will require heavy-duty cleaning.

Always perform the LOCKOUT / TAGOUT
PROCEDURE before removing any sheet metal panels or
attempting to service this equipment.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROCEDURE CAN CAUSE
PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH.
The Lockout / Tagout Procedure is used to protect personnel working
on an electrical appliance. Before performing any type of maintenance or service on an
electrically operated appliance, follow these steps:
1.
2.
In electrical box, place unit’s circuit breaker into OFF position.

placing circuit breaker ON.
3.
Place a tag on electrical box cover to indicate that unit has been disconnected for
service and power should not be restored until tag is removed by maintenance
personnel.
4.
5.
Disconnect unit power cord from electrical outlet.
