NOTE: INITIAL HOT TOWEL CABINET OPERATION

You may notice an odor from the hot towel cabinet the first few times it is used. This is normal and will lessen with use. To speed up the process, we recommend initially turning on the empty unit for several hours before filling with hot towels for the first time.

Operating Guidelines

For best results, pre-moisten towels with hot water.
Recommend preheating the empty hot towel cabinet for 20 minutes before placing towels.
Warming times vary depending on the starting temperature of the towels, how wet the towels are, and the temperature of the room.
Do not overfill the heating chamber.
Always ensure the door(s) are closed securely when placing or taking out towels.
Use caution when opening the cabinet door – hot steam may escape.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning & Ongoing Maintenance

Danger: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Always unplug this furnishing from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

Caution: DO NOT USE acetone, “Armor All” type cleaners, citrus-based cleaners, or industrial cleaners. These can seriously damage the appliance. Such damage would not be covered under warranty.

Category	Cleaning Recommendation
Electronics/ Control Panel	Anti-static electronic aerosol dusters

can be used to keep the surfaces of elec- tronic components, power cables, and plugs free of dust. Exercise caution to avoid introduction of liquids onto any buttons. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. They may permanently damage the finish or damage the letters and/or graphics.
Cabinet Exterior| Clean the drawer face/handle with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Cabinet Interior| Clean the cabinet interior with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any flammable cleaners inside the cabinet.
Gasket| The gasket is located around the edge of the door. Gently clean the gasket with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. The gasket material is soft, so be careful not to crush or damage it. Damaging the gasket will cause a poor heat seal and result in poor warming drawer performance.

When heating moist towels, condensation can build up inside the cabinet. If not regularly wiped down, this can lead to small amounts of water dripping from the cabinet when opened. To minimize any water dripping, ensure you perform the following maintenance tasks as needed throughout the day:

Ensure any condensation and/or moisture (inside and outside the cabinet) is wiped dry with a soft cloth as needed.
Regularly check and wipe down the drip tray.
