KitchenAid 4KUCS181T Use And Care Manual page 15

Metal Drawer Liner:
Clean as necessary using a cloth or sponge
and a mild detergent and water. Rinse with
clear water and dry. Do not use abrasive
cleansers.
Metal Drawer:
Occasionally, the drawer latch rod (A), and
slide hook (Bj located on both sides of the
drawer opening should be lubricated. This
will prevent the door latch from squeaking or
sticking and help insure and extend the life of
the latch mechanism. We suggest soap or a
solid stick lubricant which can be purchased
at auto supply or hardware stores.
Behind Metal Drawer:
Occasionally check the area behind the Trash
Drawer and remove any small pieces of
trash. Placing a folded newspaper on top of
trash will help prevent small items from
sticking to the ram and falling behind the
drawer.
Note: Drawer may be removed to facilitate
cleaning surrounding areas.
1. Disconnect power supply to compactor
before removing drawer for cleaning.
2. Be sure ram is in "up" position.
3. Open drawer to fully extended position.
4. Remove drawer retaining screws which
hold drawer to track assembly. Carefully
remove drawer from track assembly,
making sure that the full weight of the
drawer is supported at all times.
COMPACTOR EXTERIOR
Front Panels:
Wipe clean with a cloth or sponge and mild
detergent and water. Rinse with clear water
and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers.
Maple Wood Top:
The maple wood top is prefinished with a
protective lacquer seal. For daily care, wipe
with a damp cloth. To remove stubborn
stains, cover stain with dampened scouring
powder for three to five hours. Then wipe
away with a damp cloth.
After an extended period of use, it may be
necessary to recondition the top by lightly
sanding off all remaining lacquer and
applying mineral oil to the cutting board.
Saturate a clean cloth with oil and wipe on.
Allow to absorb overnight. Repeat oil
treatment the following day and allow to
stand four to six hours before removing
excess oil with soft, dry cloth. The top is then
ready to use. Repeat treatment every six to
eight months, as necessary.
