CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE RESERVOIR
1)
Make sure cabinet is connected to city drain and water
. If you are not hooked up to a drain and city water
you will need to manually drain the cabinet; if this is the case, connect the drain fitting to a hose that runs to a
drain or sink. Do not activate the DRAIN function until you have a place to drain the water with a hose to a
sink or drain. Observe all municipal codes. Used water from the GardenChef is not potable. This procedure
should take about an hour to complete.
2) Remove the bottom drawer(s)
3) From the HOME screen, press SETUP
4) In the SETUP screen, press SET RESERVOIR
5) On the MAIN RESERVOIR SCREEN, press DRAIN. The next screen that appears will ask if you are sure.
Double check that the cabinet is hooked up to a drain. Otherwise it will drain onto your floor! If you are not
sure, press NO and double check. If you are sure, press YES.
6) The cabinet will start to drain the reservoir. This may take up to 20 minutes. When the draining is complete,
press CANCEL to return to the home screen. Once the reservoir has been drained, wipe off any dirt with a
clean rag. Clean the reservoir with a cleaning solution, i.e. hydrogen peroxide mixture. Follow the guidelines
on the label of the agent. H
