Cleaning The Warming Drawer - DCS WD-27SS Use And Care Manual

Use & Ca re Info rmation

CLEANING THE WARMING DRAWER

• Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance, particularly the drawer box and back of the drawer face.
All parts of the drawer can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed, dried and buffed with a heavy pile
cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest cleaning procedure.
• Be sure the Warming Drawer is turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
• Use the mildest cleaning procedure first. Some brands of cleaners are harsher than others, read their
directions. Try on a small area first.
• To avoid marring the surface always rub the metal finishes in the direction of the polish grain lines .
The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
• Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, plastic or non-metal soap pads for cleaning or
scouring, as recommended in this section. (Caution: some soap pads can scratch).
• Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and to wipe dry to avoid water marks.
1) Drawer: Clean the drawer with warm soapy water.
2) Drawer Front: Clean same as Drawer.
3) Gasket: Clean with warm soapy water (care should be taken when cleaning the gasket because
silicon is tough until it is cut, at which time it will tear very easily).
4) Knobs: The ON/OFF temperature knob may be removed to be cleaned (See Fig. 07).The
MOIST/CRISP knob, however, should NEVER be removed. Be aware that the pull off force will
decrease and a loose knob could become a choking hazard for small children. Should the
knob come off, use DCS cement (part number 14178) to re-attach the knob.
5) Light: Clean with damp cloth or sponge.
6) Drawer cavity: Same as Drawer above.
7) Element: Care should be taken when cleaning the heating element. Only clean the element when
the unit is cool. Use warm soapy water on damp cloth.
