2- 3. CLEANING.
a. Cabinet.
(1) Clean cabinet with soap and hot water or dry cleaning solvent P-D-680 (item 5, Table F- l). Do not use abrasive
cleaners or wire brushes. A commercial type nylon cleaning pad may be used to remove corrosion or caked-on grease.
(2) Check the cabinet for signs of corroding or peeling. The coating over the metal may show spots. If so, remove
them with soap and hot water or dry cleaning solvent P-D-680 (item 5, Table F-1). Nylon cleaning pad may be used.
Check to be sure braces, angle irons, and support parts are fastened tight. Make sure everything works: try latch pins,
shutters, door latches and rest, lift handles, and inner rack sets. A wooden match or toothpick can help get accumulations
out of places like bracket joints, spring and pin assemblies, and rivet seats.
b. Utensils. Clean utensils with hot water and soap. Scouring will spoil the utensils’ finish. All standard items are
coated with the same preservative compound as the cabinet. Wrap each utensil individually in a barrier material (item 3,
Table F-l).
