Cleaning
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Black Models
Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water
solution. 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 polish 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. Always 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.
