Care and Cleaning
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners as these could damage the finish.
In normal circumstances, stainless steel is very resistant to corrosion. It
does however require maintenance to preserve the high quality appearance. Wash
the product with warm soapy water, removing all surface deposits.
Rinse with clear water and with a soft cloth, wipe dry.
In some cases, surface corrosion may arise after installation. This is
normally caused by tiny iron particles left behind after the brushing process
when finishing.
Wash and dry as detailed above. Then with a soft cloth soaked with a
protective oil, wipe all over.
However if the product is subject to extreme environmental conditions such as
marine locations, industrial pollution and acid rain these maintenance
procedures should be carried out around four times a year. For severe
corrosion, non-abrasive cream cleaners or proprietary stainless steel cleaners
should be used to remove the corrosion. Wash and dry as detailed above. Then
with a soft cloth soaked with a protective oil, wipe all over.
Glass parts – Remove and wash in warm water or just use a damp cloth. Do not
use abrasive materials as these will damage the finish. glass parts – Remove
