STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel may be cleaned with ordinary soap or detergent and water.  To prevent water spots and
streaks, rinse equipment thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.  The addition
of a rinsing agent will also help prevent spotting.
Fingerprints
Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel.  They can be
minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin, oily or waxy film.  Wipe cleaner on and remove
excess with a soft dry cloth.  After using, subsequent fingerprints will usually disappear when wiped
lightly with a soft dry cloth, or with a cloth containing a little of the cleaner.  If the surface is especially
soiled to start with, wash first with soap or detergent and water.
Burned On Foods and Grease
Soaking with hot soapy water will help greatly to remove burned on foods and grease.  Stubborn
deposits can be removed with scouring powder mixed into a paste and applied with stainless steel wool
or sponges.  Always rub with the "grain" in a horizontal direction.
Heat Tint
Straw-colored or slightly darkened areas may appear on stainless steel equipment where temperatures
reach 500
°
F or more.  This "Heat Tint" is caused by a slight oxidation of the stainless steel and is not
harmful.  To control this condition, never use more heat than is absolutely necessary.
Precautions
When  scraping off heavy deposits of grease or oil from stainless steel equipment, never use ordinary
steel scrapers or knives.  Particles of ordinary steel may become embedded in, or lodge on, the surface
of the stainless steel.  These will rust, causing unsightly stains.  Where it is necessary to scrape, use
stainless steel, wood, plastic or rubber tools, or stainless steel wool.
