CLEANING AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

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 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.

CLEANING AGENTS

Use non-abrasive cleaning products designed for use on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents must be chloride-free compounds and must not contain quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric 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 non-abrasive scouring pad on difficult areas and make certain to scrub with the visible grain of surface metal to avoid surface scratches. Never use wire brushes, metal scouring pads, or scrapers to remove food residue.

CAUTION

TO PROTECT STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES, COMPLETELY AVOID THE USE OF ABRASIVE CLEANING COMPOUNDS, CHLORIDE BASED CLEANERS, OR CLEANERS CONTAINING QUATERNARY SALTS. NEVER USE HYDROCHLORIC ACID (MURIATIC ACID) ON STAINLESS STEEL. NEVER USE WIRE BRUSHES, METAL SCOURING PADS OR SCRAPERS.
