It is impor tant to guard aga ins t
	corrosion in the care of

prot ect ive sur face		compl etel y des tro y the
	layer of stain less steel.
Abra siv e pads, steel		wool,		or metal implements
will abrad e sur faces		causin g damage				to this
prot ect ive coating	and will			even tually		resu lt in
areas of corrosion.		Even water, part icular ly hard
water that conta ins high to mode rate						oxidation
concen trations of chloride,				will cause
