CARE FOR STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
The stainless steel over time will be affected by 'tea
staining' (the brown discolouration of some stainless steel).
Tea staining can be reduced by washing the surface
with mild detergent and warm water. This should then
be followed by rinsing with clean cold water. The surface
should then be wiped dry with a clean cloth.

area subjected to high moisture content, we strongly
recommend that you observe the cleaning procedure
on a regular basis and cover the appliance whilst not in
use (covers are available as an optional extra if not supplied
with the appliance).
moisture conditions can be avoided if the appliance is
well protected from the weather and regular cleaning is
carried out.
