Alliance Laundry Systems CHM1772C manual Care of Stainless Steel

Care of Stainless Steel

•Remove dirt and grease with detergent and water. Thoroughly rinse and dry after washing.

•Avoid contact with dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion when salty or acidic solutions are present.

•Do not allow salty or acidic solutions to evaporate and dry on stainless steel. Wipe clean of any residues.

•Rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain” of the stainless steel to avoid scratch marks when using abrasive cleaners. Use stainless steel wool or soft, non-metal bristle brushes. Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes.

•If the stainless steel appears to be rusting, the source of the rust may be an iron or steel part not made of stainless steel, such as a nail or screw. Tip: Paint all carbon steel parts with a heavy protective coating. Stainless steel fasteners should be used whenever possible.

Maintenance

•Remove discoloration or heat tint from overheating by scouring with a powder or by employing special chemical solutions.

•Do not leave sterilizing solutions on stainless steel equipment for prolonged periods of time.

•When an external chemical supply is used, ensure no siphoning of chemicals occurs when the washer-extractor is not in use. Highly concentrated chemicals can cause severe damage to stainless steel and other components within the machine. Damage of this kind is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Locate the pump and tubing below the washer-extractor’s injection point to prevent siphoning of chemicals into the machine.
