Maintenance

Note

Make no attempt to service or repair a VWR product under warranty

before consulting your VWR dealer. After the warranty period, such
consultation is still advised, especially when the repair may be technically
sophisticated or difficult. If assistance is needed beyond what the
distributor can provide, please call Technical Services. No merchandise
should be returned directly to the factory without obtaining a Return
Materials Authorization (RMA) number from Technical Services. 

s

Caution

Service must be performed by qualified service personnel only. 

s

Caution

Disconnect plug from electrical outlet before attempting any

maintenance or repair of this unit. 

s

Wash the cabinet with a solution of water and mild soap or detergent to
clean off surface dirt, marks or smudges.

Keep the vents clear of dust for free air circulation. This will add to the
service life of components.

The aluminum shelf assembly should be washed with a mild soap and
water. Do not use abrasive or halogen-based cleaners - they will damage
the finish. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Wipe interior glass with an ammonia-based glass cleaner and a soft, lint-
free cloth.

Clean up spills inside the chamber as soon as possible to prevent them
from being baked on. When the oven is cool, use hot soapy water and a
soft cloth to clean the #304 stainless steel chamber. Do not use scouring
pads with metallic content, chlorine bleach or halogen-based cleaners
(special order units may come with stainless steel shelves, in addition to the
stainless steel interior).
