Care and Cleaning
(contd)
Can I use liquid
cleaners on my stainless
steel?
Just because a cleaner is a
liquid does not mean it is non-abrasive.
Many liquid cleansers designed to be
gentle on tile and smooth surfaces still
damage stainless steel. Cosmetic
damage from using non-recommended
products is not covered under warranty.

products, or using non-recommended cleaning products, is not
covered under warranty.
