Important: Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or other aggressi- ve or abrasive cleaning agents. The protective coat of lacquer on the stain- less steel surface can be damaged by these.

The coat of lacquer protects against finger prints and therefore additional cleaning agents and maintenance products are no longer required.
