Follow the grain: Use a soft cloth and clean stainless steel in the direction of the grain to maintain finish and reduce streaks.
-
Avoid abrasives: Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, or harsh chemical cleaners that can scratch or damage metal.
-
Check drain path: Ensure condensate drains and troughs are clear of debris so water can flow freely.
-
Inspect seals & joints: Periodically check seams, fasteners, and gaskets; tighten or replace worn parts to prevent leaks.

Polish occasionally: Use a non‑abrasive stainless cleaner to maintain shine and resist fingerprints.
