CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• To keep your cabinets looking clean and fresh, wash with fresh water, a mild detergent and a micro fiber cloth. Then rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth, go with the grain on any brushed stainless-steel surfaces. If preferred, you can use products specifically designed to clean stainless steel for the cabinet tops.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or sponges / pads that are abrasive, these products will dull the finish and harm the longevity of the product.
• Also, stainless-steel may show “tea” staining if not washed often in costal locations or in close proximity to a chlorine or saltwater swimming pool.
• Check cabinets / drawers after hard rain. If water has penetrated the cabinet – wipe up moisture with a micro fiber cloth. Make sure all side button plugs and electrical cord grommets are in place. If water entered a drawer, make sure they are securely closed and that the cabinets are leveled per set up instructions.
• If your stainless-steel tops show signs of oxidization, take the following steps to rejuvenate its appearance. First, try cleaning with fresh water and a non-abrasive cleaning sponge – make sure you are stainless-steel top in the direction of the grain. If you run into a stubborn stain, use a stainless-steel cleanser (follow the cleanser’s direction – follow warnings with regard to use on a food preparation surface).
• NOTE: Always rub / wipe / clean the stainless-steel tops with the grain. Wiping across the grain can ruin the finish and cause the stainless-steel to lose its brilliance.
• For the glass fronts and aluminum front panels, wash with clean water and mild detergent with a micro fiber cloth. Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pad on any surface of the cabinet. Clean as needed or every three months. If the cabinets are in close proximity to a chlorine or saltwater swimming pool or near a ocean, more frequently cleaning is required – every 2 to 3 weeks.
• Water with high iron content can leave rusty residue on the cabinets.
• Extreme heat by a flame – be careful placing your cabinet in direct contact with a BBQ grill or other appliance that generated high heat or flames.
• Salt that is left sitting on the products or gets splashed up on the cabinets in snowy weather can cause corrosion.
• Keeping your new Outdoor Kitchen cabinets clean will go a long way to extending their appearance and longevity.
• Trapped moisture under cutting boards, rubber mats, metal trays or cans could lead to corrosion.
• If the color of the cabinet bodies shows signs of fading, a thin layer of car wax can be applied per the wax manufacturers directions.

AVOID USING THESE CHEMICALS ON / AROUND THESE CABINETS:

• Products that include strong acids or alkaline can damage your cabinets: Vinegars, white wine, mustard, tomato-based products, lemons, some carbonated beverages etc.
  Chloride cleansers which includes bleach or any other cleaning materials that contain bleach.
