Proper Appliance Care and Cleaning
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your appliance before cleaning.
Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.
General: • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed
with 2 cups of warm water or use one part borax for ten parts water
(about one cup per gallon). Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with
the cleaning solution, to wipe down your appliance.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of
these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your appliance.
Mold on the interior
Microscopic mold spores are naturally occurring and present in the
ambient air. When mold gets in your appliance it may grow within the
humid environment. Removal can be completed with mild solutions of
commonly available products such as Borax, vinegar, or baking soda.
Door Gaskets:
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to general
instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a
proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep
the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.
