   b. Hard water deposits left behind when water is evaporated will attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
   c. Chlorides from chlorinated cleansers, calcium / lime / rust  removers (e.g. muriatic acid), even heavily chlorinated city water will attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
   d. DO NOT use any highly caustic cleaners. Use of highly caustic cleaners will damage the surface.
   e. LIMIT USE of strong caustic cleaners on warmers. Rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water solution to neutralize any residue. Failure to do so may cause damage to the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
   f. Cleaners containing ammonia will attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.

2. Use the proper tools in the proper way to clean your Wells cold pan.
   a. Soft cloth and plastic scouring pads are safe to use on stainless steel surfaces.
   b. Stainless steel pads may be used ONLY IF the scrubbing motion is in the direction of the visible grain. DO NOT use a circular motion.
   c. In the absence of visible grain, use only soft cloth or plastic pads. Scrub only in a linear motion along the longest axis of the equipment.

3. Use only non-chloride and non-ammonia cleansers:
   a. DO NOT use any cleanser listed as “chlorinated”.
   b. DO NOT use any cleanser listing “ammonia” or “ammonium” in its contents.
   c. Contact your cleaning materials supplier for suitable alkaline cleansers.

4. Keep your Wells cold pan clean. Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard stubborn stains and hard-to-remove deposits.
