GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug which must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current.

WARNING-Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if

the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

CLEANING

WARNING: ELECTRIC
SHOCK HAZARD

Unplug the unit from
electric po wer before

performing cleaning or maintenance.

WARNING: ELECTRIC
SHOCK HAZARD

DO NOT spray or splash
water on the control panel

or wiring.

CAUTION: CART
DAMAGE

Do not tip cart onto the

doors to drain excess
water. Permanent damage to the
doors and hinges will result. Use a
clean dry cloth to mop any excess
water inside cabinet after cleaning.

Turn the main power switch OFF and unplug the cabinet to before cleaning. DO
NOT spray or splash water on the electrical components, control panel, timer or
wiring.

1. Racks or shelves are easily removed without tools for cleaning, Simply lift up
and pull out. The tray racks may be hand washed or run through an automatic
washer.

2. To clean stainless steel surfaces use only cleansers, detergents, degreasers,
or sanitizers that are certified to be "chloride-free" and "phosphate-free," and
cleansers, degreasers, or sanitizers only in the recommended concentrations.
DO NOT exceed recommended concentrations or mixing ratios. After clean­ing and sanitizing, rinse all exposed surfaces thoroughly with large amounts
of clean, clear water. Wipe off any standing liquid or residue from all surfaces,
corners and rear edges.

3. Vinyl trim should be washed with a chlorine-free detergent and water. Rinse
thoroughly with clear water and allow to dry. Never use abrasive clean ers,
waxes, car polish, or substances containing strong aromatic solvents or alco­hol. Use of direct steam / hot water cleaning at temperatures above 190°F
may result in “bubbling” or loosening of vinyl adhesive.

4. After all parts are dry, reinstall them and then plug the cabinet back into elec­trical source.

IMPORTANT: Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers or bleaching agents that contain chlorides or
phosphates will cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. This damage appears as pits,

eruptions, voids, small holes, cracks, severe discolorations or dulling of the metal finish. Water with a high
chlorine content can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water quality, we recommend you ha ve it
tested. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR, AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
