CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
To clean the pipes and pump:
Fill the tub and pour a cup of bleach (or dishwasher soap [i.e. Cascade] if bleach is not available), run pump for five (5) minutes
and let it sit for ten (10) minutes. Run the pump for five (5) minutes, then rinse two (2) times. Wipe off the surface after the rinse
because the bleach may discolor some color trimmings.
After using bleach or dishwasher soap, you should follow this cleaning procedure:
Fill the tub with water and run the pump for 5 minutes, then rinse it 2 times. Clean with a soft damp cloth, do not use abrasive
cleaners as they may scratch and dull surface of the unit.
