Can I use liquid
cleaners on my stainless
steel?
•
Just because a cleaner is a
liquid does not mean it is non-abrasive.
Many 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 finishof 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
For best cleaning results
1. Wash surfaces with warm soapy water and a soft, clean clothor
sponge.
2. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
DO NOT use the following harsh cleaners:
