sponge.

DO NOT use the following harsh cleaners:
• abrasive or acidic cleaners (ammonia, chlorine bleach, vinegar-based
product, etc.)

Can I use liquid
cleaners on my stainless
steel?
@ Just because a cleaner is a
liquid does not mean it is non-abrasive.
Ma W liquid cleansers designed to be
gentle on tile and smooth surfaces still
damage stainless steel. Cosmetic
damage from using non-recommended
products is not covered under warranty.
Citric Acid
Citric acid permanently
discolors stainless steel.
To prevent damage to
the finish of your stainless steel
appliance, do not allow these
substances to remain on the steel
finish:
• mustard
• tomato juice
• marinara sauce
• citrus based sauces
• citrus based products
