Installation & Operation Manual
Stainless Steel 180° Washfountain
WWF-3603 Series
Surfaces may be easily cleaned using conventional cleaning agents such as an ammonia
based liquid cleaner, (glass cleaner).
Dry stains on a matte fi nish can be removed with a 3M Scotch-Brite gray scouring pad or a mild
abrasive cleaner.
Burns or scorches can be removed by sanding with coarse grit sandpaper followed by fi ner grit (220)
sandpaper. Follow sanding with a 3M Scotch-Brite gray pad (or equivalent) to match fi nish of sanding
area to surrounding area. A fi nal buffi ng may be required on polished surfaces. Accidental nicks or
chips can be repaired with special patch kits available in all colors.
Avoid exposing surfaces to strong chemicals such as acetone's; paint removers and sulfuric acid or
hydrochloric chemical cleaners. Exposure to strong chemicals may result in permanent damage to
surfaces.
Stainless Steels are basically alloys of iron and chromium and are corrosion resistant. Stainless steel
has a bright surface that is easy to clean and is free from oxides. Therefore, cleaning of stainless
steel is relatively simple and easy if done on a regular basis.
Frequency of cleaning should depend on the rate at which the fi xture becomes dirty. Remember that
fresh (soft) deposits of all kinds are relatively easy to remove, while removing older (hard) deposits
are much more diffi cult. Establish a cleaning SCHEDULE.
Routine cleaning should involve ordinary soap or detergent and water, applied with a sponge, brush
or cloth. Baking soda, borax or any of several non-abrasive commercial cleansing agents can help
hasten the cleaning action. after scrubbing, rinse THOROUGHLY and wipe dry.
DO NOT use common steel wool, scouring pads, scrapers, wire brushes, fi les or other steel tools to
clean stainless steel. Such items will scratch the surface or leave small particles of iron imbedded in
the surface, which will eventually rust and stain the surface - even appearing as if the stainless itself
was rusting.
Certain chemical compounds, if used on stainless steel, can give the appearance of rust and if
allowed to stand for long periods of time, can pit the surface of stainless steel. Products containing
hydrochloric acid, muriatic acid or potassium hydrochloride can ruin the surface.
