Exterior Cleaning
Black and White Models:
• Black and White surfaces may be cleaned with a mild detergent
and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe
with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.
Stainless Models:
• Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners
with bleach.
• Keep your Stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good
quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly
basis. For best results use Claire Stainless Steel Polish and
Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line Corporation
(Part numbers 173348).
• Do not clean with steel wool or abrasive pads.
• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically intended
for stainless steel on stainless surfaces (this includes
glass, tile and counter cleaners).
• If any surface discolors or rust appears, clean it quickly with
Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive
cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish
this process with Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or
comparable product to prevent further problems.
Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the
surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of
the rust may not be possible.

Follow the cut-out drawing The 24-1/4" width allows 1/4" for ease
in installation and removal of the unit. 24" is the cabinet depth in
most installations.
Electrical installation must observe all state and local
codes. This unit requires connection to a grounded (threeprong), polarized receptacle that has been placed by a
qualified electrician.
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A
power supply (normal household current). An individual, properly
grounded branch circuit or circuit breaker is recommended. GFCI
(ground fault circuit interrupter) is usually not required for fixed
location appliances and is not recommended for your unit because
a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be sure to
consult your local codes.
