Stainless Steel Protection 

Cleaning 



For cleaning a stain on the surface of the stainless steel, check the cleaning section of the operation 
manual. 



All metal surfaces should be checked while cleaning for damage, scuffs or scapes as these can lead to rust 
and further damage to the product. 

Corrosion Protection 



Stainless steel exhibits good resistance to corrosion however, if not properly maintained stainless steel can 
rust. 



Any sign of mild rust or corrosion should be thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water and dried as soon 
as possible. 



NEVER use abrasive pads or cleaners for cleaning.  



Medium rust or corrosion can treated by a commercial cleaning agent that contains 
citric/oxalic/nitric/phosphoric.  Do NOT use cleaning agents with chlorides or other harsh chemicals as this 

can cause corrosion. A lemon slice or a few drops few drops of lemon juice added to the water can be 

used as a substitute. After treatment, wash with warm (not hot) soapy water and dry thoroughly. 



Thoroughly wipe the surfaces dry after cleaning and do NOT let water pool on the unit. Check crevices and 
folds for pooling. 



If an abrasive product is used while cleaning, thoroughly dry the unit and leave in an open or oxidised 
area for the stainless steel protective layer to replenish. 



When using, ensure all liquids and moisture is cleaned up straight away. Food liquids such as juices from 
vegetables and fruits should NOT be left on preparation surfaces. 



Do NOT leave items on the stainless steel such as cutting boards, rubber mats and bottles. 

Surface Finish 



To protect the polish, stainless steel should be dried by wiping a dry soft cloth in the same direction as 
grained polish. 



For NON-food contact surfaces, a light oil can be wiped on the surfaces with a cloth to enhance the 
stainless steel surface. Wipe in the direction of the grain. 



Some commercial stainless stain cleaners can leave residue or film on the metal; this may trap fine 
particles of food on the surface, thus deeming the surfaces not food safe.
