Resistance
Information on the resistance of stainless steel:
• The stainless steel surface is not fully resistant against the chemicals listed below:
– Hydrochloric acid
– Sulphuric acid
– Sodium hydroxide
– Chlorine
– Chlorides
Do not clean the stainless steel surface with these chemicals or with similar acids or
