CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Black Models
Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water solu-
tion. 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.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and pol-
ish monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel
Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that
could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning
weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on any
glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless
steel on stainless surfaces (this includes glass, tile and
counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser®
and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Al-
ways finish with Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner
or comparable product to prevent further problems.
Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will cause the
graining in the stainless to become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of
the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may
not be possible.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild
nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution applied
with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. These
types of cleaners may transfer taste to the interior products
and damage or discolor the interior.
