* There are three basic things, which can break down your stainless steel’s passivity layer and allow corrosion.

• Mechanical Abrasion means those things that will scratch the steels surface. Steel Pads, wire Brushes, and Scrapers are prime examples.

• Water comes out of our tap in varying degrees of hardness. Depending on what part of the country you live in, you may have hard or soft water. Hard water may leave spots. Also, when heated, hard water leaves deposits behind that if left to sit, will break down the passive layer and rust your stainless steel. Other deposits from food preparation and service must be properly removed.

• Chlorides are found nearly everywhere. They are in water, food and table salt. One of the worst perpetrators of chlorides can come from household and industrial cleaners.

* Don’t Despair! Here are a few steps that can help prevent stainless steel rust.

DANGER! BEFORE SERVICING! ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER AT THE MAIN DISCONNECT WHEN SERVICING OR REPLACING ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. This includes (but not limited to) Fans, Heaters Thermostats, and Lights.

CAUTION! Fluorescent Lamps contain mercury vapor. Mercury exposure at high levels can harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs and immune system of people of all ages. Do not break or puncture fluorescent lamps. Dispose of, or store, all fluorescent lamps in accordance with Federal (40 CFR 273), State and local hazardous waste requirements.

Fluorescent lamps are furnished with a shatterproof protective coating.

The same type of lamp with protective coating must be used if replaced.

Sign off on the lamp replacement procedure

• Clean with plenty of nonabrasive soap (or detergent) and luke warm water, using the bare hand to feel and dislodge any caked-on dirt. A soft, grit-free cloth, sponge or chamois may be used, but only as a means of carrying the water to the plastic. Dry with a clean damp chamois or clean soft cloth such as cotton flannel. Hard, rough cloths or paper towels will scratch the acrylic and should not be used.

• If after removing dirt and grease, the acrylic can be waxed with a good grade commercial wax. This will improve the appearance of the surface by filling in most minor scratches.

• Wax should be applied in a thin even coat and brought to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a dry clean soft cloth, such as a cotton flannel. Excessive rubbing may cause scratching and/or buildup an electrostatic charge which attracts dust and dirt to the surface. Blotting with a clean damp cloth is recommended to remove charge.

• For acrylic used indoors, antistatic coatings successfully prevent the accumulation of an electrostatic charge for periods of several months - if the surface is not washed or wiped down with a wet cloth. Between applications of the antistatic coatings, the parts need only be dusted with a soft clean cloth to maintain a good appearance.

• In use, liquid antistatic coatings should be applied in a very thin even coat. If beads appear as it is applied, the coat is too thick and the excess should be removed with another cloth. Allow the coating to dry, then bring to a high gloss with a soft cloth.
