The stainless steel doors can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will

grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use
appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
TRUE Clean gaskets with warm soapy water. Make sure all folds are clean and dry after
cleaning. Make sure flanges are clear of any grit or grime. After cleaning the door
gaskets, apply paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gaskets and hinges at the
hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.
