CLEANING
the metal. Rubbing cleanser, as gently as possible, in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the
finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits which do
not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE
scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL, as any particles
left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH,
STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS.
Surfaces that are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also
increases the possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.
“Heat tint” is a darkened area that can appear on a stainless steel surface where the area has been
subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of
the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint which
does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines, using
SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powered cleanser.
Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying, or by reducing heat to equipment during slack periods.
