are present.
● Do not allow salty or acidic solutions to
evaporate and dry on stainless steel. Wipe clean
of any residues.
● Rub in the direction of the polish lines or “grain”
of the stainless steel to avoid scratch marks when
using abrasive cleaners. Use stainless steel wool
or soft, non-metal bristle brushes. Do not use
ordinary steel wool or steel brushes.
● If the stainless steel appears to be rusting, the
source of the rust may actually be an iron or steel
part not made of stainless steel, such as a nail or
screw. Tip: Paint all carbon steel parts with a
heavy protective coating. Stainless steel fasteners
should be used whenever possible.
● Remove discoloration or heat tint from
overheating by scouring with a powder or by
employing special chemical solutions.
● Do not leave sterilizing solutions on stainless
steel equipment for prolonged periods of time.
● When an external chemical supply is used, ensure
no siphoning of chemicals occurs when the
washer-extractor is not in use. Highly
concentrated chemicals can cause severe damage
to stainless steel and other components with the
machine. Damage of this kind is not covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty. Locate the pump
below the washer-extractor’s injection point to
prevent siphoning of chemicals into the machine.
