Stainless Steel Surfaces

Protecting
Stainlesssteelhas a reputationfor withstanding
tough abusefor years.This isa key reasonwhy it is
so popular with the food serviceindustry.
However, stainless steel appliances can
have surface imperfections, discolorations or
blemishesthat consumers with a critical eye
notice and find unattractive in the home. These
discolorations or blemishescan be caused
by something as simple as leaving fingerprint
smudges on the stainless steel surface overnight.
For stainless steel appliances
where blemishes are prone to show
on the surface, we recommend
APPLYING A COATOFCERAMA BRYTE ® Stainless
Steel Cleaning Polish& Conditioner (purchased
separately-follow instructions).
Thiswill help you to maintain the brightnessand
appearance of your stainlesssteel appliance.
Cleaning
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.
In order to avoid any discolorations and/or
grease stains, we recommend cleaning and
removing any spills,spots and grease from
