is turned off at the power point.

instructions to ensure the best possible result is achieved without damage.

Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.
• The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly (e.g. Weekly) to ensure a long life expectancy. Dry
with a clean soft cloth. A specialized stainless steel cleaning fluid may be used.
• Ensure that wiping is done along with the grain of the stainless steel to prevent any unsightly
crisscross scratching patterns from appearing.

wrung before cleaning. Use a dry soft cloth to remove any excess moisture left after cleaning.
