General information
The main causes for stainless steel wear or corrosion are:
1) Using abrasive or acid detergents, especially chlorine-based products such as hydrochloric acid or sodium
hypochlorite (bleach). Therefore, before buying a detergent product, make sure it does not corrode stainless
steel
2) Stagnation of ferrous deposits (such as those created by rust dissolved in the water flowing through the
piping, especially after the appliance has remained idle for some time). Therefore, avoid such stagnation; do
not use wire wool pads to remove the most stubborn food residues. Use, rather, pads or spatulas made of
stainless steel or softer, non-ferrous materials;
