General
Main causes for deterioration or corrosion of stainless steel:
• using abrasive or aggressive detergents, especially products containing chlorine
such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hypochlorite (bleach). For this reason, before
using a commercial detergent make sure it will not corrode stainless steel;
• accumulation of ferrous deposits (such as those created by rust dissolved in the wa-
ter in the pipelines, especially after the appliance has remained idle for prolonged
periods); accumulation of ferrous deposits must be avoided as far as possible. Do
not use abrasive metal pads to remove stubborn food stains. Instead, use scourers
or spatulas made of stainless steel or softer, non-ferrous materials;
• accumulation of acidic substances such as vinegar, lemon juice, sauces, salt, etc.
Avoid prolonged contact of substances of this type with the stainless steel surfaces
of the appliance. Particular damage is caused by allowing saline solutions to evap-
orate on the appliance surfaces resulting in the formation of salt deposits.
