Routine Cleaning
•
After each day's use or when the machine is dirty, remove the seal bar and wipe
down the chamber, lid and exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove food
particles and other debris.
•
The seal bar should be wiped clean with a damp cloth only.
•
Never use an acetone, acetone-based or abrasive cleaner on the lid or other plastic
parts. Parts can become discolored, scratched, or even appear burned if these
materials are used.
•
The stainless steel housing should be cleaned and cared for by using a traditional
stainless steel cleaning material.
•
Inspect the power cord for tears, frays, or other damage. Do not use machine if the
power cord is damaged.
