Notes:
• Do not use any aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents.
• DO NOT use abrasive products such as steel wool.
• DO NOT use cellulose sponges. Some sponges are processed with
salt and can cause corrosion by leaving salt deposits on the metal.
• DO NOT allow any cleaning compounds to remain in contact with
stainless steel for extended periods.
• DO NOT USE CHLORINE-BASED CLEANERS. When cleaning
the grease fi lters, also clean the metal grease fi lter holder in the
appliance with a moist cloth.
• Clean all-metal fi lters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate
detergent. Discoloration of the fi lters may occur if using phosphate
detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will not
affect fi lter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the
warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash fi lters
using a mild detergent.
