Stainless Steel Protection
Cleaning
• For cleaning a stain on the surface of the stainless steel, check the cleaning section of the o eration
manual.
• All metal surfaces should be checked while cleaning for damage, scuffs or sca es as these can lead to rust
and further damage to the roduct.
Corrosion Protection
• Stainless steel exhibits good resistance to corrosion however, if not ro erly maintained stainless steel can
rust.
• Any sign of mild rust or corrosion should be thoroughly cleaned with warm soa y water and dried as soon
as ossible.
• NEVER use abrasive ads or cleaners for cleaning. Do not use Steel Wool.
• Medium rust or corrosion can treated by a commercial cleaning agent that contains
citric/oxalic/nitric/ hos horic acid. Do NOT use cleaning agents with chlorides or other harsh chemicals
as this can cause corrosion. A lemon slice or a few dro s few dro s of lemon juice added to the water can
be used as a substitute. After treatment, wash with warm (not hot) soa y water and dry thoroughly.
• Thoroughly wi e the surfaces dry after cleaning and do NOT let water ool on the unit. Check crevices and
folds for ooling.
• If an abrasive roduct is used while cleaning, thoroughly dry the unit and leave in an o en or oxidised
area for the stainless steel rotective layer to re lenish.
• When using, ensure all liquids and moisture is cleaned u straight away. Food liquids such as juices from
vegetables and fruits should NOT be left on re aration surfaces.
• Do NOT leave items on the stainless steel such as cutting boards, rubber mats and bottles.
Surface Finish
• To rotect the olish, stainless steel should be dried by wi ing a dry soft cloth in the same direction as
grained olish.
• For NON-food contact surfaces, a light oil can be wi ed on the surfaces with a cloth to enhance the
stainless steel surface. Wi e in the direction of the grain.
• Some commercial stainless stain cleaners can leave residue or film on the metal; this may tra fine
articles of food on the surface, thus deeming the surfaces not food safe.
