VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STAINLESS STEEL VERSIONS
CARE AND PROTECTION OF STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
The interior and exterior surfaces of your bar fridge have been manufactured using stainless
steel, a material which is graded according to its composition and resistance to corrosion.
For example, 304 grade is most commonly used in the food service industry and 316 grade
is often referred to as “marine grade”. There are many lesser grades but your Rhino fridge
uses either one or both of 304 and 316 grade.
Even the top grade of stainless steel is not immune to corrosion and
must
be cared for with
an appropriate maintenance regime. Without such care, some degree of deterioration can be
expected which might range from mild “tea staining” to heavy surface corrosion.
To keep your fridge in tip-top condition, we recommend that owners use a clean lint-free
cloth to apply a thin layer of Olive Oil to all ‘exposed’ Stainless Steel areas. This should then
be polished in and buffed off with separate cloth to a non-oily finish. Always apply in the
direction of the grain. This process will assist in protection against corrosive salt spray
environments. The Olive Oil layer also makes later polishing and removal of fingerprints
easier. This process should be repeated frequently every 3-4 months depending upon the
location. For example a beachside area with heavy airborne salt spray may benefit from
more regular application.
We recommend that you avoid using abrasive cream cleaners since these will scratch the
stainless steel and promote corrosion. If you are using a dedicated stainless steel cleaning
product, please always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The glass door can simply be cleaned with a readily available glass cleaning product.
Note: Please unplug the appliance from the mains power prior to doing any cleaning
operations. Never inundate the cabinet with water during cleaning.
Look after your investment carefully and it will serve you well for many years to
come.
