•
Avoid contact with full-strength
bleaches,
household chemicals, and acid based
cleaners. If this happens, rinse and wipe dry
quickly.
•
Salt, mustard and mayonnaise
can cause
pitting if left on the steel sink surface. If
spilled, clean and rinse immediately.
•
A high iron content
in the water (hard water)
may result in a brown or rust colored stained
appearance. If noticed, dry towel sink after
each use.
•
Do not use rubber mats
in the sink bowl.
Material trapped under mats can complicate
cleaning.
NOTE: Improper use may damage this product
and void the warranty.
RANGE AND REFRIGERATOR
For care and appearance maintenance of the
range and refrigerator, refer to the appliance
manufacturer’s operation and maintenance
manuals included in your InfoCase.
BATHROOM
Toilet
For instructions on the care of your toilet, refer
to the information in your InfoCase.
Tub and Shower Walls
The tub and shower walls in the bathroom
should be cleaned with mild soap and warm
water. Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the
shower walls and tub, as scratching and
discoloration may occur. Stubborn stains may be
removed with an automotive-type cleanser.
Lavatory Sink
Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh detergents
or solvents.
General Cleaning.
Rinse all food, beverage or
cosmetic residue from the sink as soon as
possible. Some residues, if left to sit in the sink,
may require the use of detergent or a mild liquid
or gel abrasive cleaner.
Hard-to-Remove Food and Beverage
Residue.
Use an abrasive cleanser such as
Ajax
®
, Comet
®
, Bon Ami
®
or Bar Keeper's
Friend
®
, to remove mild stains and for routine
cleaning. Use an abrasive pad such as Scotch-
Brite
®
to remove most of the tougher stains.
For the most stubborn stains, fill the sink
about one quarter full with a 50/50 solution of
bleach and water. After 10 or 15 minutes of
soaking drain solution from the sink as you rinse
both sides and bottom.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or metal scouring
pads.
Mineral Based Stains.
Cleaners designed to
remove iron or rust should not harm the sink, nor
will solvents such as denatured alcohol, mineral
spirits or acetone.
Marks or Discoloration.
White automotive
rubbing compound may be used to remove
stubborn marks or discoloration. Use of these
products will not damage the solid surface.
Always follow label directions.
DOORS AND WINDOWS
Windows may be periodically cleaned with a
good quality glass cleaner or mild soap solution
using a soft cloth.
Use care when removing ice or frost from the
windows. Always use a plastic ice scraper, never
one made of metal. Use care when removing ice
from the mirrors to protect the reflective surfaces.
Door locks and hinges should be lubricated
periodically with powdered graphite to ensure
trouble-free operation and to protect against
freeze-up.
