Stainless steel surfaces will give you many years of trouble-free use as long as you follow a
few simple rules. If it appears to mark do not worry, it is usually not the steel but
something deposited on it which has stained.

Do wash all surfaces before use. You should use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or
soap, or similar cleaner. Always rinse well with clean water and dry the surface with a
soft cloth. Clean regularly when in use. Do use soft cloths, nylon or bristle brushes.

Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes or wire wool pads as th ey can scratch the steel.
Do take care when handling sharp objects as they can scratch the surface of stainless
steel. Any scratches on stainless steel will blend together over a period of time and
become less noticeable with age. There is no detriment to the corrosion resistance or
general performance of the material.

Do not use bleach for cleaning purposes (remember dishwasher powders, sterilising
agents and similar products all contain chlorides). If used, black pit marks or other such
