Electric equipment is inherently clean and sanitary, but may become unsanitary if dirt is allowed to accumulate on it. Take
advantage of the clean, sanitary features of electric equipment, give it the regular attention that it deserves the same as any
other highly perfected machinery, to insure best results and continued high operating efficiency
