DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES

CAUTION:

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect appliance from electric power before cleaning.

CAUTION:

HOT SURFACE

Exposed surfaces can be hot to the touch and may cause burns. Allow appliance to cool before cleaning.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT spill or pour

water into controls, control panel or wiring. Water damage is not covered by warranty.

CAUTION:

Beware of sharp edges with sheet metal

during cleaning process.

1. After all food products have been removed from the cabinet, turn the power switch to “OFF” and allow the cabinet to cool completely.

2. Unplug the unit prior to any cleaning.

3. Remove the rack assemblies.

4. Make sure the power cord is not hooked into the cord hook. Open cabinet door and empty water reservoir (HL1 and HL3 cabinets). Remove the heater module by lifting up the front enough to clear its detent, and then pull the module out of the cabinet. The power cord will slide through the access hole at the rear of the cabinet.

5. Inspect and clean the areas where there are vents or filters, making sure no water gets into the internal controls or electrical areas of the cabinet.

6. Clean the inside of the cabinet as well as the removed parts. Reinstall when all parts are dry and clean. Empty and clean black plastic condensation pan.

7. A solution of two tablespoons of baking soda per quart of warm water is sufficient for most cleaning jobs. Mild soap or detergent may be used on heavily soiled interiors—follow manufacturer’s directions.

8. For glass doors and windows, clean with window cleaner, taking care not to get any of the solution on the aluminum cabinet walls. Stubborn deposits may be cleaned with a mild soap and water and then rinsed with clean water. Use a soft, nonabrasive cloth to avoid scratching the door.

9. Control panel should be washed with a clean, damp, nonabrasive cloth and chlorine-free detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean damp cloth and allow to dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish, or substances containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol. If the control knob(s) need to be removed for cleaning, simply pull the knob out, clean the control panel and knob, and then replace the knob.

CAUTION:

Do not use strong detergents, alkalis, ammonia solutions or

abrasive cleaners. Use only cleaning agents approved for aluminum and only in the recommended manufacturer’s concentration. Do not use steel wool pads—ferrous deposits will cause rusting.

Use of cleaning agents that are not recommended for aluminum may cause permanent damage to the cabinet. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMA-

NENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

CABINET MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

DO NOT perform

these procedures while the cabinet is turned on or heated. Turn off the power and wait for the cabinet to cool to room temperature.

CAUTION:

Do not move cabinet

unless door is securely closed. Serious damage to hinges and door may result if bumped into tables, walls, or other equipment when the doors are open.

CASTERS

Some cabinets may have caster bearings that are equipped with Zerk grease fittings so that they may be easily lubricated with a grease gun. Lubricate bearings at least once every six months.

HINGE MAINTENANCE

Make sure all joints remain sealed and door latches do not stick. If necessary, use WD-40 to keep door latches from sticking. Do not use oil.

REVERSING THE DOOR

Reversing the door takes about 30 minutes & requires two people.

1. Using a small screwdriver, pry off the hinge covers and set aside. Removing the covers will allow access to the inside hinge screws. Remove the three screws that hold each hinge to the cabinet. DO NOT REMOVE THE SCREWS THAT HOLD THE HINGES TO THE DOOR. Remove the door, taking care not to let it fall.

2. Remove the door strike plate and screws adjacent to the door opening on the cabinet. Reinstall door strike plate and screws on opposite side of the cabinet.

3. Screw hinges onto opposite side of the door.

4. With the help of another person, hold door up to the cabinet and attach with the screws removed in step one. Before tightening the screws, be sure the door is flush, level and square. Replace the hinge covers.
