CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL
1. The surface can be damaged by mechanical abrasion, hard water
deposits and chlorine:
a. NEVER use steel wool, wire brushes or metal scrapers to clean
the appliance. These will damage the surface.
b. Hard water deposits left behind when water is evaporated will
attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
c. Chlorides from chlorinated cleansers, calcium / lime / rust
removers (e.g. muriatic acid), even heavily chlorinated city water
will attack the surface and allow the stainless steel to rust.
d. DO NOT use any highly caustic cleaners. Use of highly caustic
cleaners will damage the surface.
a. LIMIT USE of strong caustic cleaners on warmers. Rinse
thoroughly with a vinegar and water solution to neutralize any
residue. Failure to do so may cause damage to the surface
and allow the stainless steel to rust.
e. Cleansers containing ammonia will attack the surface and allow
the stainless steel to rust.
2. Use the proper tools in the proper way to clean your Wells warmer:
a. Soft cloth and plastic scouring pads are safe to use on stainless
steel surfaces.
b. Stainless steel pads may be used ONLY IF the scrubbing
motion is in the direction of the visible grain. DO NOT use a
circular motion.
c. In the absence of visible grain, use only soft cloth or plastic
pads. Scrub only in a linear motion along the longest axis of
the equipment.
4. Use only non-chloride and non-ammonia cleansers:
a. DO NOT use any cleanser listed as “chlorinated”.
b. DO NOT use any cleanser listing “ammonia” or “ammonium” in
its contents.
c. Contact your cleaning materials supplier for suitable alkaline
cleansers.
5. Keep your Wells hot and cold pan clean. Clean frequently to avoid
build-up of hard, stubborn stains and hard-to-remove deposits:
a. Rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water solution to neutralize
any residue.
b. For discoloration caused by using the warmer in dry operation,
use a cleaner made specifically for stainless steel.
c. Wipe dry with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
d. Restore the surface by using a polishing product specifically
made for stainless steel after each cleaning.
6. In areas where tap water has a high mineral content, warmers may
develop lime deposits.
Use a non-chloride de-liming agent to remove lime deposits. It is
important to use Lime and Scale Cleaner for Warmer Pans often to
prevent a difficult-to-remove build-up of lime deposits.
CAUTION:
INJURY HAZARD
Disconnect appliance from
electrical power before
cleaning.
Wells hot and cold pans are
constructed of high quality
stainless steel. As long as
the stainless steel surface is
intact, the equipment will not
rust or corrode.
Recommendation:
A water softening device or a
cartridge-type filtration device
may be used to minimize lime
and calcium build-up.
