Maintenance

The equipment has been designed to require minimum maintenance and has been constructed to meet National
Sanitation Foundation and U.S. Public Health Service standards. Non-toxic chemical cleaners or mild detergents are
recommended for cleaning of fixtures. DO NOT use steel wools of any kind. Steel wool particles will work into the
grains of the metal causing corrosion. Also, these particles can cause a health hazard. If scouring is required, use a
non-abrasive type of cleaner. Do not use caustic solutions on your equipment. Hosing or steam cleaning should not be
necessary to keep these fixtures clean and sanitary. Do not allow water or steam to come into contact with electrical
components. Never power wash or steam clean the cabinet with the electrical cord plugged in.

CAUTION

Be sure to disconnect power source before cleaning and servicing the unit. Liability for improper or careless use is the
responsibility of the equipment owner or persons servicing the unit, including the authorized service agent.
