Stainless Steel

Stainless steel should be cleaned using a mild detergent, 
a soft cloth and hot water. If it is necessary to use a non-
metallic scouring pad, always rub in the direction of the grain 
in the metal to prevent scratching. Wash a small area at a 
time and rinse the washed area with a clean sponge dipped 
into a disinfectant and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth before 
it can dry.

Use only stainless steel, wood or plastic tools to scrape 
off heavy deposits of grease or oil. Do not use ordinary
