CAUTION: Improper use of this procedure may damage your appliance!

1.Use undiluted white vinegar with a non-abrasive scouring pad (plastic) or cloth on the affected area to remove the rust stain. The appliance should not be heated and remain at room temperature during the entire cleaning process.

2.If the stain resists removal, additional exposure time with vinegar may be required, to a maximum of one hour.

3.Thoroughly wash all of the vinegar away with fresh clear water. Dry the surface completely and allow one hour before using the appliance to cook.
