CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent,

Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with
stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful.
Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
