• Any sign of mild rust and/or corrosion should be thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water and dried as soon as possible
• NEVER use abrasive pads or cleaners for cleaning
• All metal surfaces should be checked while cleaning for damage, scuffs or scrapes as these can lead to rust and further damage to the product
• Mild rust and/or corrosion can be treated with a commercial cleaning agent that contains citric/oxalic/nitric/phosphoric acid. DO NOT use cleaning agents with chlorides or other harsh chemicals as this can cause corrosion. After treatment, wash with warm (not hot) soapy water and dry thoroughly

Surface Finish

• To protect the polished surface of the stainless steel, it should be dried using a clean dry soft cloth. A light oil can be applied to enhance the stainless steel surface, using a clean cloth apply the oil in the same direction as grained polished fi nish
