MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
thoroughly and drying with a soft cloth. Drying is
particularly important if the tap water is very hard
and leaves scale deposits.
Stainless steel does not deteriorate due to
frequent cleaning, so proper cleaning can be
performed whenever necessary. For more
stubborn stains, perform the following
procedures for your stainless steel appliances to
start shining again.
Scale
To remove scale left by water, simply use a
multipurpose cream detergent and a soft cloth.
Thicker scale may be removed by generously
applying 25% vinegar and hot water solution to
the stain. Rinse thoroughly with a sodium
bicarbonate and water solution, then follow up by
rinsing with water. Clean carefully.
Oil and Grease Stains
To remove oil and grease stains, use a mild
dishwashing liquid and hot water. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft
cloth. For more stubborn stains, ethyl alcohol,
acetone, or another non-halogenated solvent may
be used with care.
Stubborn Dirt and Burnt Grease
Use a multipurpose cream detergent and a soft
cloth.
Coffee and Tea Stains
Prepare a sodium bicarbonate solution and hot
water. Apply generously to stain and let sit for 15
minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth.
Rust Stains
Apply a multipurpose cream detergent and rub
delicately with a soft cloth. If stain persists, it
may be necessary to apply a stainless steel-
specific product.
Fingerprints
Use a mild dishwashing liquid and warm
water. Rub delicately with a soft cloth. Window
cleaner may also be used.
Scratches
Apply a stainless steel-specific detergent/
polisher and buff with a soft cloth.
Important “Don’ts”
•
Do not use hydrochloric acid or any other
detergents containing chlorides on stainless
steel.
•
Do not use abrasive powder detergents that
could ruin the surface finish.
•
Do not use wool, abrasive brushes, or tools
that have previously cleaned other metals,
because as well as scratching the surface, they
can generate contamination and unattractive
stains.
•
Do not use silver cleaners.
