Surfaces
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe
the surface in the direction of the brush line. Follow
the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel
surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers
Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust,
tarnish, and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser
free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with
a damp soft sponge.
Lights
To change the LED lamps, schedule a service
appointment. See Consumer Support page in the front of
this manual for a list of websites and contact information.
