MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent, a soft cloth and hot water.. If it is necessary to use a non- metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the grain in the metal to prevent scratching.. Wash a small area at a time and rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped into a disinfectant and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth before it can dry..
Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools to scrape off heavy deposits of grease or oil.. Do not use ordinary steel scrapers or knives, as particles of iron may become embedded and rust..
NEVER USE STEEL WOOL
