Daily cleaning of your stainless steel sink is recommended to avoid build-up of soap or

mineral deposits, which may adversely impact the product’s appearance. Use an

ordinary mild detergent to wash the sink, rinse, and then dry with a soft cloth.

• DO clean your Elkay stainless steel sink prior to first use.

• DO wash and dry your sink after each use.

• DO use a bottom grid or rinsing basket to protect your sink.

• DO run cold water in the sink when pouring boiling water inside it.

DO NOT

• DO NOT use soap pads, steel wool or wire brushes on or within your sink; the

particles can adhere to the sink surface and will eventually rust. If an abrasive

pad must be used, we recommend you use blue Scotch-Brite

No-Scratch pads.

Others will scratch and dull the surface.

• DO NOT use dish mats, as these can trap soap and dirt, hindering cleanliness

and harboring harmful bacteria.

• DO NOT use cleaners containing ammonia, chlorides (bleach) or other harsh

chemicals. If exposed to bleach, your stainless steel sink should be rinsed

immediately to prevent corrosion.

• DO NOT store open containers of household cleaners and chemicals containing

chlorides beneath the sink: bleach, acid, drain cleaner and toilet bowl cleanser.

Vapor emission may cause corrosion and pitting to the exposed stainless steel

and other metals, such as water supply lines.

• DO NOT leave standing water or liquids, such as coffee or tea, in your sink;

doing so may result in unwanted stains.
