Protecting Stainless Steel, Epoxy Coated and
Plastic Surfaces
It is important to guard against corrosion in the care
of stainless steel surfaces. Harsh, corrosive, or
inappropriate chemicals can completely destroy the
protective surface layer of stainless steel, epoxy or plastic.
Abrasive pads, steel wool, or metal implements abrade
surfaces causing damage to this protective coating and
eventually result in areas of corrosion. Water can contain
high to moderate concentrations of chloride, causing
oxidation and pitting that results in rust and corrosion. In
addition, acidic spills that remain on metal surfaces are
contributing factors in corroded surfaces.
Proper cleaning agents, materials, and methods are
vital to maintaining the appearance and life of this
appliance. Spilled items should be removed and the
area wiped as soon as possible but at the very least, a
