How to Clean Traditional Stainless Steel KitchenAid Warming Drawers
Safety Checklist: Before You Begin
- Turn off all controls: Verify that the warming drawer temperature control is switched completely OFF.
- Allow to cool completely: Ensure the interior drawer cavity, bottom heating area, and wire racks are cool to the touch before touching or spraying cleaners.
- Wipe acidic spills immediately: Food spills containing acids (such as tomato sauce, lemon juice, or vinegar) can permanently etch and discolor the finish. Clean these spills as soon as the appliance reaches room temperature.
To Clean and Care:
- Wash surfaces with warm, soapy water using liquid detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. Always rub evenly in the direction of the grain.
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Use a clean, dry towel to polish the surface in the direction of the grain until it shines.
- Water that is not completely dried off can cause discoloration - Water may contain iron that will initiate this discoloration.
