CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper cleaning and maintenance of your appliance will provide you with years of pleasant use. To maintain the
appearance and durability of your appliance we encourage you to read and follow the instructions,
hints and
warnings included throughout
this manual. Care must always be taken to prevent scratches on your appliance
from hard or sharp objects.
NOTE: People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions.
St George recommends
wearing protective gloves while cleaning the appliance. Routine cleaning
of the appliance should only be performed
when the appliance is at room temperature.
DO NOT USE ANY ACIDIC
OR CAUSTIC CLEANERS, ABRASIVE POWDERS OR SCOURERS ON THE
INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE APPLIANCE. Substances
or items with these properties may discolour or
damage the finish of
your appliance. If any abrasive, acidic or caustic substance or cleaning agent should come
into contact with the appliance, rinse off immediately taking special
care to avoid injury if surfaces are hot.
5.1 Recommended Cleaners
Mild detergents
and warm water together with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth achieve good results for
normal
cleaning.
Diluted washes with Ammonia and water should rinse away any adhesive residue or gummy deposits on the
appliance surfaces. Eucalyptus oil (small amounts)
is also good for removing adhesive residue. Alcohol based
products (e.g. Methylated Spirit, etc.) are not recommended.
Brand name cream cleansers
and concentrates, without abrasive qualities, can be used in small amounts to
break down greasy
deposits and dirt.
To prevent any risk of baked on cleaner residues make sure cleaned surfaces are
thoroughly rinsed and then
wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless
steel surfaces St George recommend 3M brand or Advance (by Cleaveland Cleaning
Supplies) stainless steel cleaner.
Other reputable brand cleaners specifically formulated for cleaning stainless
steel may
also be acceptable. Do not use steel soap pads or abrasive scourers of any kind. The abrasive
qualities
of these pads will ruin the even brushed finish of the stainless steel and any residual
metal fibres may corrode
causing a rusty/dull appearance. Metal polishes with abrasive qualities are also not recommended.
