It is impor tant to guard aga ins t

 

corrosion in the care of

 

 

 

stainles s steel surfaces.

 

 

 

Harsh, corros ive, or

 

 

 

inappropr iate chemic als can

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

and pitting that result

in rust and cor rosion .

In

that will corrod e surfaces .

 

 

 

 

Proper cleaning agents, materials, and

 

meth ods are vital
