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. 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. If cabinet has a clear glass door, 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,
non-abrasive 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.
