CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is a marvelous material: strong, lustrous and low maintenance. With a minimum
of care, it will normally retain its beauty and durability for the life of the equipment. In some
applications, however, special care is required in order to maintain stainless steel’s special
properties.
Restore stainless steel’s luster by applying a polish specifically made for stainless steel. Spray
on, wipe off with a soft cloth, rubbing in the direction of the grain.
Never use metal implements, wire brushes, abrasive scratch pads or steel wool to
clean stainless steel.
Warmer pans, insets and other vessels are subject to a harsher environment. Wells
Manufacturing uses a very high quality stainless steel for our food warmer pans. Even the
highest quality stainless steel, however, is mostly iron, and will rust, pit and corrode under the
following conditions:
•
Poor Water Quality:
Hard water (water with a high content of dissolved minerals) will leave
mineral deposits when allowed to dry. Calcium (lime) can buildup on heated surfaces, even
under water. If left unattended, hard water spots and lime buildup can lead to rusting, corro-
sion and pitting.
•
Contact with Chlorides:
Chlorides (specific compounds of chlorine) are found in food, ta-
ble salt and many cleansers. Chlorides can attack the surface of stainless steel, resulting in
corrosion and pitting.
Keep your stainless steel warmers clean and free from calcium buildup.
Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride cleanser.
Use citric acid-based cleaners to remove calcium deposits.
Wells Delime Cleaner is recommended.
