Care Information
Cleaning of Stainless Steel
• Only use stainless steel cleaners; never use chlorides, bromides and iodides. Consult
the label or cleaner manufacturer for proper use.
• Rinse with fresh water immediately after every cleaning and wipe dry to remove any
water residue.
• Do not use any metal brushes, metal cleaning pads or steel wool. This can cause
rust formation.
• Rub the stainless in the direction of the metal grain to prevent marring the surface.
• Light and frequent cleanings will prolong the look and life of the stainless steel.
