accessories
Elkay colanders, cutting boards, rinsing baskets
and bottom grids are not designed as “Dishwasher
Safe” or “Microwave Safe”. These products should
be hand washed in a mild detergent, rinsed
thoroughly and hand dried.
To maintain the beauty and quality of your cutting
board, please follow these simple instructions:
Clean by washing with hot soapy water after
preparing each food item and before you go
on to the next item.
A solution of 1 teaspoon of chlorine bleach in
1 quart of water should be used to sanitize
surfaces. Flood the surface with the solution
and allow it to stand for several minutes.
Rinse thoroughly and air dry or pat dry with
clean paper towels.
For wood cutting boards apply a coat of
mineral oil to all wood surfaces on a monthly
basis or more frequently if needed.
Do NOT place your cutting board in the
dishwasher.
Do NOT place your cutting board in the
microwave.
Do NOT immerse your cutting board in water.
Do NOT allow hot surfaces to come in contact
with your cutting board.
Do NOT store your cutting board on or in your
stainless steel sink when not in use.
The following are recommendations from the
USDA regarding cutting boards:
Always use a clean cutting board.
If possible, use one cutting board for fresh
produce and a separate one for raw meat,
poultry, and seafood.
Once cutting boards become excessively
worn or develop hard-to-clean grooves,
you should replace them.
