Be careful! I lost an HX-50 panel in attempting to remove nicotine with
soft soap and warm water. A piece of paint, possibly "conditioned" by
reaction with the nicotine (or perhaps a paint flaw from the factory) came
off and I was into an expensive refinishing of the whole panel. Inspect the
panel very carefully to make sure there are no cracks....even very small
ones...before you begin. I have never used those foaming cleansers as I
have been too afraid of causing damage. But I suppose if one is
careful.....
