USEFUL HINTS OF STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCEStainless steel is so called because it is not affected by oxidation,this is due to a thin molecularlayer of oxide on the surface which protects againts further oxidation. There are, howevwr,substances which can modify or destroy this layer,giving rise to corrosion:besides preventing theprotective film of oxide from reforming,these substances corrode the stainless steel itself and cancause irreparable damage. It is therefore necessary to prevent this by choosing correct cleaningproducts and by complying with the following simple recommendations:never forget that whenusing these appliances,the first and fundamental rule is to guarantee that the cleaningproducts are both non-toxic and hygienic.Before using any detergent to clean either the stainless steel or the immediate and sorroundingfloor area, always ask your supplier for the most suitable product which does not cause corrosionon the steel itself; the onset of rust is most commonly caused by the use of unsuitable cleaningmaterials (strongly acid chlorate based detergents) or on inadequate maintenance.Our appliances are made of stainless steel AISI 304 (18-10 type) for exterior panelling,uppertops,tanks etc.Comply with the following instructions when cleaning and servicing parts in stainless steel.Ordinary daily maintenanceCarefully and frequently clean the surfaces using a damp cloth; use soap and water or normaldetergents,so long as these do not contain abrasives or chlorine based substances such assodium hypochlorite (bleech),hydrochloric acid or other such solutions:These products quickly andirreparably corrode stainless steel. When cleaning floors underneath or near the appliances, neveruse the above mentioned products as vapours or splashes could subject the steel to similardestructive effects.Only ever rub in the direction of the satining, then thoroughly rinse with clean water and carefullydry.Rust : water supply pipes, inevitably convey particles of rust dissolved in the water especially innew installation plants or when taps are opened after a period of inactivity. These iron depositsmust not be allowed to remain on the stainless steel since they produce rust by contamination.Use suitable products to remove any rust marks,from companies which produce detergents forindustrial use. After application, thoroughly rinse with clean water, neutralizing the action of theproduct with an alkaline detergent normally used to clean such appliances or with another specificproduct.DO NOT USE METAL MATS TO CLEAN THE STAINLESS STEEL
