Maintenance
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Cleaning
Stainless steel contains 70-80% iron, which will rust
if not properly maintained. It also contains 12-30%
chromium, which forms an invisible passive, protective
fi lm that shields against corrosion. If the fi lm remains
intact, the stainless steel will remain intact. However,
if the fi lm is damaged, the stainless steel can break
down and rust. To prevent stainless steel breakdown,
follow these steps:
CAUTION
Never use any metal tools. Scrapers,
fi les, wire brushes or scouring pads (except for
stainless steel scouring pads) will mar the surface.
CAUTION
Never use steel wool, which will
leave behind particles that rust.
CAUTION
Never use acid-based or chloride-
containing cleaning solutions, which will break
down the protective fi lm.
CAUTION
Never rub in a circular motion.
CAUTION
Never leave any food products or
salt on the surface. Many foods are acidic. Salt
contains chloride.
For routine cleaning, use warm water, mild soap or
detergent and a sponge or soft cloth.
For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm water, a degreaser
and a plastic, stainless steel or Scotch-Brite pad.
Always rinse thoroughly. Always rub gently in the
direction of the steel grain.
Preserving & Restoring
Special stainless steel polishing cleaners can
preserve and restore the protective fi lm.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a regular
application of a high quality stainless steel polishing
cleaner as a fi nal step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore the stainless steel
surface. First, thoroughly clean, rinse and dry the surface.
Then, on a daily basis, apply a high-quality stainless steel
polish according to manufacturer's instructions.
Heat Tint
Darkened areas, called heat tint, may appear on
stainless steel exposed to excessive heat, which
causes the protective fi lm to thicken. It is unsightly
but is not a sign of permanent damage.
To remove heat tint, follow the routine cleaning procedure.
Stubborn heat tint will require heavy-duty cleaning.
To reduce heat tint, limit the exposure of equipment
to excessive heat.
