Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on containers and rub in a back-and-
forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Abrasive cleaners will damage stainless steel.
Cleaners rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool on door and chamber
assemblies can be harmful to stainless steel. Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.
When choosing a detergent, select one with a low-chloride content. Detergents with a high-chloride
content must not be used, as such detergents may harm stainless steel.
