TIPS FOR CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL
CAUTION:
Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that contain chlorides or phosphates will
cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. The damage appears as pits, eruptions, voids, small
holes, severe discoloration or dulling of the metal finish.
Water with high chloride content can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water quality, we recom-
mend you have it tested. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR, AND IS NOT COV-
ERED BY THE WARRANTY
