DAILY: 
1.  Unplug electrical power supply. 
2.  Allow warmer to cool before 
 cleaning. 
3.  Clean drawers and the interior of 
  the warmer with a mild soap and 
 water.  Never use harsh 
  chemicals or abrasive pads to 
  clean the warmer.

HEAVY-DUTY CLEANING: 
For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm

stainless steel, or Scotch-Brite pad.  
Never rub in a circular motion -- rub 
gently in the direction of the steel grain. 
Always rinse thoroughly 
STAINLESS STEEL CARE 
CLEANING: 
Stainless Steel contains 70 – 80% iron, 
which will rust if not properly maintained. 
Stainless Steel also contains 12 – 30% 
chromium, which forms an invisible 
passive, protective film that shields 
against corrosion. 
If the protective film remains intact, the 
stainless steel will remain intact.  
However, if the film is damaged, the 
stainless steel can break down and rust. 
PREVENTIVE CARE: 
To prevent stainless steel break-
down, follow these steps: 
1.  Never use any metal tools, 
  scrapers, files, wire brushes, 
  or scouring pads (except for 
  stainless steel scouring pads,) 
  which will mar the surface. 
2.  Never use steel wool – which 
  will leave behind particles that will 
 rust. 
3.  Never use acid-based or 
  chloride containing cleaning 
 solutions –  which will break 
  down the protective film. 
4.  Never rub in a circular motion. 
  Always rub gently in the direction 
  of the steel grain. 
5.  Never leave any food products 
  or salt on the surface. Many 
  foods  are acidic. Salt contains 
 chloride
