CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. NEVER clean any electrical unit by immersing it in water. Unplug unit and kettle and
allow to cool before surface cleaning.
2. Always clean equipment thoroughly before first use. Clean unit daily using warm,
soapy water, wipe clean with damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Mild cleaners and
PLASTIC scouring pads may be used for cleaning purposes.
3. Unplug unit before cleaning or servicing. All service should be performed by a Waring
Commercial authorized service center.
4. Never use vinegar or corrosive cleaner. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners.
5. To prevent buildup of excess oil and salt, clean daily when kettle is still warm. Allow
kettle to cool down sufficiently before removing it for cleaning. Do NOT immerse
kettle in water.
6. To remove grease and food splatter or condensed vapors that have baked on
equipment, apply cleaners to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal.
Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible will not mar the finish of the stainless steel.
IMPORTANT: NEVER RUB IN A CIRCULAR MOTION.
7. Remove kettle and use a mild abrasive cleaner and PLASTIC scouring pad to remove
oil buildup on any of the kettle parts.
8. Remove all unpopped corn from drawer and wipe out entire cabinet. Clean cabinet
and doors with mild soap and water. Dry with soft towel.
DO NOT USE ordinary steel wool as any particles left on the surface will rust.
NEVER USE a wire brush, steel or abrasive scouring pads (except stainless), scraper, file or
other steel tools. Surfaces that are marred by incorrect maintenance collect dirt more
rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of a
buildup of corrosion.
NEVER USE any corrosive cleaner. Use only cleaners approved for stainless steel.
WARNING:
Unit is not waterproof. NEVER clean any electrical unit by immersing it in
water. Turn off unit before cleaning surface.
WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD – To avoid electrical shock, always de-energize all power to
equipment before performing cleaning or maintenance.
