• The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly (e.g. weekly) to ensure
long life expectancy. Dry with a clean soft cloth. A specialized
stainless steel cleaning fluid may be used. NOTE: Wipe along the
grain of the stainless steel to prevent the development of unsightly
crisscross scratching patterns.

Ensure the cloth is clean and well wrung before cleaning. Use a dry
soft cloth to remove excess moisture left after cleaning.
GREASE MESH FILTERS
