CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance
intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other
special considerations.
Exterior Cleaning for Your Stainless Steel Model:
- Your stainless steel model may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water, or cleaners
with bleach
- Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high-quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a
monthly basis. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will
require cleaning on a weekly basis.
- DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEELWOOL PADS.
- DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile and
counter cleansers).
- If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bom-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a
non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with a high-quality, all-in-
one stainless cleaner/polish to prevent further problems.
- USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO BECOME
BLURRED.
- Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and become impossible to
remove.
