Cleaning
STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR
Use a nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a 
soft lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural luster, lightly 
wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth 
followed by a dry polishing chamois. Always follow the 
grain of stainless steel. 
INTERIOR CLEANING
To clean interior surfaces and all removable parts, wash 
with a mild solution of soap, water, and baking soda. Rinse 
and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on the lights and 
control panel.
 CAUTION
Do not use vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or other 
alcohol-based cleaners on any interior surface.
VACATIONS
For extended vacations, turn power o at the control 
panel. Empty the unit and block doors open slightly to let 
fresh air in and keep the interior dry. The water filter should 
be replaced before start-up.
