possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the diffi
culty

rides, chlorine, or ammonia.

50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Rinse with clean water, dry with
a soft clean cloth. Do not use appliance cleaner, stainless steel clean-
er, or cleaner containing abrasives, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia.
These cleaners may damage the fi nish.
CAUTION
Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure

must be removed and the appliance must be
thoroughly rinsed before operating. Follow man-
ufacturer’s instructions and provide adequate
ventilation.
