Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after each use: Rinse bowls and drainboards with warm water, then wipe all stainless-steel surfaces with a soft cloth or sponge and mild, pH-neutral detergent.
-
Rinse thoroughly and dry completely: Prevent water spots or mineral buildup by drying all surfaces after cleaning.
-
Avoid abrasive tools or harsh chemicals: Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, scouring pads, bleach, or chlorine-based cleaners, as these can scratch or corrode stainless steel.
-
Maintain drainage: Use drain baskets and remove food particles or debris after each use to prevent clogs.
-
Inspect structure periodically: Check legs, feet, welds, and adjustable bullet feet for stability; ensure the sink remains level.
-
Sanitize routinely: After cleaning, use a food-safe sanitizer to maintain hygiene, ensuring all detergent residues are rinsed off first.
