Cleaning the Cabinet

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when cleaning the cabinet. Care should be taken for parts with possible sharp edges.

Stainless steel is naturally corrosion-proof and needs no additional protective coating to maintain its gloss and usability for a long time.

Abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents should never be used. These can damage surfaces and cause corrosion. They include:

• Cleaners containing chloride

• Bleaches containing hypochlorite (if accidentally spilled on stainless steel, rinse off with water immediately and thoroughly)

• Silver polish

If the cabinet exterior is looked after correctly it will retain an “as new” finish for many years. A damp cloth is usually sufficient for wiping away light dirt, plant debris and finger marks and normal day to day cleaning should be carried out with a soft cloth and soapy water. Dry thoroughly afterwards.

CIF original cream cleaner can also be used for wiping off water spots and can alleviate discoloration. Remove this type of residue by rinsing with clean, preferably distilled water and wipe away any remaining streaks of polish or watermarks.

Tough grease or oil marks can also be removed using denatured alcohol or acetone. There is no risk of corroding stainless steel by using such solvents. For ease of use limit the amount of solvent used. Wash more than once using a pure solvent on a clean soft rag until all traces of the greasy residue are removed.
