CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel use ordinary soap and water (with or
without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or
any corrosive cleaner.
To remove grease and food splatter or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment apply cleanser
to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal.
Rubbing cleanser, as gently as possible, in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the
stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits that do not respond to
the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or
STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL, as any particles left on the surface
will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING
PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces that are marred
collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of
corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.
Darkened areas, called "heat tint," sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been
subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of
the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the above cleaning
techniques, but tint which does not respond to that procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of
the polish lines, using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in
combination with a powered .cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying or by
reducing, heat to
