Can I use liquid cleaners on my stainless steel?

Just because a cleaner is a liquid does not mean it is non-abrasive. Many liquid cleansers designed to be gentle on tile and smooth surfaces still damage stainless steel. Cosmetic damage from using non-recommended products is not covered under warranty.

Citric Acid

Citric acid permanently discolors stainless steel.

To prevent damage to

the finish of your stainless steel appliance, do not allow these substances to remain on the steel finish:

•mustard

•tomato juice

•marinara sauce

•citrus based sauces

•citrus based products

For best cleaning results

1.Wash surfaces with warm soapy water and a soft, clean cloth or sponge.

2.Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth. DO NOT use the following harsh cleaners:

•abrasive or acidic cleaners (ammonia, chlorine bleach, vinegar-based product, etc.)

•citrus-based cleaners

•scouring pads (metal, textured plastic, etc.)

These items can scratch, discolor, or permanently tarnish surfaces.

3.Follow up rinsing by immediately drying with a soft, clean cloth. This will avoid water spotting on stainless steel finish.
