SECTION 11 –
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Rust Stains
Apply a multipurpose cream detergent and rub
delicately with a soft cloth. If stain persists, it
may be necessary to apply a stainless steel-
specific product.
Fingerprints
Use a mild dishwashing liquid and warm
water. Rub delicately with a soft cloth. Window
cleaner may also be used.
Scratches
Apply a stainless steel-specific detergent/
polisher and buff with a soft cloth.
Important “Don’ts”
•
Do not use hydrochloric acid or any other
detergents containing chlorides on stainless
steel.
•
Do not use abrasive powder detergents that
could ruin the surface finish.
•
Do not use wool, abrasive brushes, or tools
that have previously cleaned other metals,
because as well as scratching the surface, they
can generate contamination and unattractive
stains.
•
Do not use silver cleaners.
SINK – STAINLESS STEEL
Care and Cleaning Instructions
The stainless steel sink can usually be cleaned
with water and soap or detergent using a soft
cloth or sponge.
•
Rinse thoroughly
with warm water and wipe
dry quickly to avoid spots and streaks.
•
For stubborn stains,
use a mild abrasive
cleanser like Soft Scrub
®
, Comet
®
, etc. Work
in the direction of the “grain” of the brushed
finish lines.
•
Never use steel wool.
Particles of steel from
the wool pad can embed into the sink surface,
then become rusty and unsightly.
•
Avoid contact with full-strength
bleaches,
household chemicals, and acid-based
cleaners. If this happens, rinse and wipe dry
quickly.
•
Salt, mustard, and mayonnaise
can cause
pitting if left on the steel sink surface. If
spilled, clean and rinse immediately.
•
A high iron content
in the water (hard water)
may result in a brown or rust-colored stained
appearance. If noticed, dry towel sink after
each use.
•
Do not use rubber mats
in the sink bowl.
Material trapped under mats can complicate
cleaning.
NOTE: Improper use may damage this product
and void the warranty.
