Cleaning Porcelain Enamel

Quick Safety Checklist (Before You Begin)

• Turn off controls: Ensure the warming drawer is turned completely OFF.
• Allow the unit to cool: Never wipe or spray cleaners inside a hot warming drawer.
• Wipe acidic spills immediately: Foods containing acid (such as tomato sauce, citrus juice, or vinegar) can etch the finish. Clean these spills as soon as the drawer is cool to the touch.

Method 1: Everyday Cleaning (Best Practice)

1. Prepare the solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of mild liquid dish soap.
2. Wipe down: Dip a soft microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge into the soapy water and gently clean the interior porcelain surfaces.
3. Rinse: Wipe away soap residue using a second cloth dampened with clean water.
4. Dry: Buff dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to eliminate water spots and streaks.

Method 2: Stubborn Residue & Grease

For baked-on grease or film that dish soap alone cannot lift, use one of these manufacturer-approved alternatives:

• Mild liquid all-purpose cleaner
• Household glass cleaner (ammonia-free preferred)
• Blue or white scratch-free scouring sponge (non-abrasive)

Note: Always rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft towel after using spray cleaners.

What to Avoid (Prevent Permanent Damage)

Do not use any of the following items on porcelain enamel surfaces:

• Steel-wool pads or wire scouring sponges
• Soap-filled scouring pads 
• Abrasive powders or cream cleansers
• Coarse, gritty utility towels or textured paper towels
