CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

General cleaning guidelines:

Wash surfaces gently with a soft damp cloth; use a neutral liquid soap with water for daily cleaning. Rinse completely 

with water, dry any overspray. Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surface. The 

use of abrasive cleaners, cleansers or disinfectants will damage the surface finish and void the warranty. 

We also recommends the general practice of spot testing all cleaning agents on an inconspicuous area prior to 

applying.

We suggest a semi-annual wax routine using a high quality clear carnauba paste wax to extend the life of a living 

finish. This will keep the finish close to its original form and minimize the appearance of use. The use of polishing 

agents can damage finish and void the warranty.

Note that prolonged contact with certain items such as citrus fruit juice, salt, vinegar, mustard, pickles, mayonnaise, 

anti-bacterial soap and wines on your surface for prolonged periods will also alter all surface finish.

NEVER USE:

•

Steel wool pads

•

Bleaches containing hypochlorite

•

Silver dip cleaners or polishes of any type.

Removing and cleaning burners

To clean the polished brass surface of your burnes you can use a metal polish of your choice, please note that the the 

surface will start to oxidise again as soon as you start to use and that is a normal characteristic of polished brass. If 

your burner surface is chrome plated (optional) please follow the instructions below for cleaning chrome plated brass 

surfaces and note that you may also use metal polishes however please use it only occasionaly since metal polishes 

are abrasive and it will take away some of the chrome plating with each use.

Cleaning burnished brass surfaces

The antiquing finish of the surface (Burnished Brass) is the result of natural oxidation that has been accelerated and 

it is a “living finish”. Living Finishes have NO PROTECTIVE COATING so they can be scratched or scuffed if not 

cared for properly.

The unique characteristic of these finishes is that they wear and age over time. Essentially, the finish replicates what 

nature would do to the surface material naturally when exposed to the environment.

These products will generally tend to darken slightly on the areas that are infrequently touched and lighten or highlight 

on the areas that are contacted on a consistent basis. Soaps, acidic fluids, and astringent cleaners can damage 

the finish. Avoid using abrasive pads, sponges, or cloths to clean the product. Do not allow water spots to dry on. 

Cleaning chromed brass surfaces

This finish is achieved by chrome plating solid brass and it is a “living finish”.

Living Finishes have NO PROTECTIVE COATING so they can be scratched or scuffed if not cared for properly.

This durable finish will not change if the general cleaning guidelines are followed. 

Please follow the general cleaning guidelines to keep this finish close to its original form and minimize the appearance 

of use.

Cleaning nickeled brass surfaces

This finish is achieved by nickel plating solid brass and it is a “living finish”.

Living Finishes have NO PROTECTIVE COATING so they can be scratched or scuffed if not cared for properly.

Oxidation that may appear over time on the nickel plated brass surfaces is a normal characteristic of this living 

finish. Please follow the general cleaning guidelines to keep this finish close to its original hue and minimize the 

appearance of use.
