Care and Cleaning (contd)
Can I use liquid
cleaners on my stainless
steel?
Just because a cleaner is a
liquid does not mean it is non-abrasive.
Many liquid cleansers designed to be
gentle on tile and smooth surfaces still
damage stainless steel. Cosmetic
damage from using non-recommended
products is not covered under warranty.
Citric Acid
Citric acid permanently
discolors stainless steel.
To prevent damage to
the finish of your stainless steel
appliance, do not allow these
substances to remain on the steel
finish:
mustard
tomato juice
marinara sauce
citrus based sauces
citrus based products
For best cleaning results
1. Wash surfaces with warm soapy water and a soft, clean cloth or
sponge.
2. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
DO NOT use the following harsh cleaners:
abrasive or acidic cleaners (ammonia, chlorine bleach, vinegar-based
product, etc.)
citrus-based cleaners
scouring pads (metal, textured plastic, etc.)
These items can scratch, discolor, or permanently tarnish surfaces.
3. Follow up rinsing by immediately drying with a soft, clean cloth. This
will avoid water spotting on stainless steel finish.
