Cleaning Recommendation
Electronics/
Control Panel
Anti-static electronic aerosol dusters can be used to keep the surfaces of electronic components, power cables, and plugs free of dust. Exercise
caution to avoid introduction of liquids into the area behind the control panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may permanently
damage the finish or damage the letters and/or graphics.
Drawer Face/
Drawer Handle
Clean the drawer face/handle with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. You may also use a stainless steel
cleaner. Use stainless steel cleaner according to the directions on the package. Always wipe stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain.
Drawer Interior
Clean the drawer interior with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any flammable cleaners
inside the warming drawer.
Painted surfaces
Clean any painted surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
scrubbers. They may permanently damage the finish.
Gasket
The gasket is located around the edge of the drawer opening, below the control panel. Gently clean the gasket with a solution of mild detergent
and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. The gasket material is soft, so be careful not to crush or damage it. Damaging the gasket will
cause a poor heat seal and result in poor warming drawer performance.
When heating moist towels, condensation can build up inside the warming drawer. If not regularly wiped down, this can lead to small amounts of water dripping
from the warming drawer when opened.
To minimize any water dripping, ensure you perform the following maintenance tasks as needed throughout the day:
1) Ensure any condensation and/or moisture (inside and outside the drawer) is wiped dry with a soft cloth as needed.
2) Ensure any condensation and/or moisture on the surrounding wood and/or laminate is wiped dry with a soft cloth as needed.
Ongoing Maintenance
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Before cleaning, always uplug the table/trolley (where the warming drawer is embedded into) from the electrical outlet.
