PRECAUTIONS

Stainless steel is vulnerable to hydrochloric and sulfuric acid, as well as other strong acids and chlorine-based
products. Please do not use the following products:
• Construction chemicals
• Solvents (e.g. PVC plumbing solvents, etc.)
• Photographic developing liquids
• Denture cleaners
• Grout cleaners
• Silver cleaners
• Undiluted bleach
• Household cleaners containing chlorine, etc.
These products can cause discoloration or corrosion. If one of the above products comes into contact with
stainless steel, wash it immediately with plenty of water and dry it with a soft cloth.
Ordinary steel and carbon-based contaminants: Avoid leaving cans, steel wool, scouring pads (e.g. S.O.S.), etc.,
in contact with stainless steel. These can leave small steel particles on the surface, which can lead to rusting and
staining.
Corrosive foods: Citric fruit juices (e.g. lemon), damp salt, and vinegar, among others, should not be left in
contact with stainless steel for extended periods to avoid corrosion.
Minerals: Saltwater can cause rusting to occur on stainless steel that is not marine-grade. It is recommended
to use a 316 grade for marine applications.
Rubber mats: Do not use rubber mats on your stainless steel surfaces. Food, water, and cleaning products can
cling to it and create stains.
Winter temperature and pipe protection: Installing a kitchen in an environment with a risk of freezing requires
special attention. It is recommended to install a valve inside the house to shut off the water and drain the pipes
when the temperature drops. This will help prevent the pipes from bursting. Also, be sure to leave the faucet
handle open to prevent water from getting caught in it.
