CARE and cleaning
pROTEcTINg STAINLESS STEEL SURFAcES
It is important to guard against corrosion
in the care of stainless steel
surfaces. Harsh, corrosive,
or inappropriate chemicals
can completely destroy the
protective surface layer of stainless steel. Abrasive
pads, steel wool, or metal implements will abrade surfaces causing damage to this protective coating and will eventually result in areas of corrosion.
Even water, particularly hard water that contains high to moderate concentrations of chloride, will cause oxidation and pitting that result in rust and corrosion. In addition, many acidic foods spilled and left to remain on metal surfaces are contributing factors that will corrode surfaces.
Proper cleaning agents, materials, and methods are vital to maintaining the appearance and life of this appliance. Spilled foods should be removed and the area wiped as soon as possible
cLEANINg AgENTS
Use
acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel surfaces.
Always use the proper cleaning agent at the manufacturer's recommended strength. Contact your local cleaning supplier for product recommendations.
cLEANINg MATERIALS
The cleaning function can usually be accomplished with the proper cleaning agent and a soft, clean cloth. When more aggressive methods must be employed, use a
but at the very least, a minimum of once a day. Always thoroughly rinse surfaces after using a cleaning agent and wipe standing water as quickly as possible after rinsing.
