Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that contain chlorides or phos-
phates will cause permanent damage to stainless steel products. The damage appears as pits, erup-
tions, voids, small holes, severe discoloration or dulling of the metal finish. Water with high chlo-
ride content can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water quality, we recommend you
have it tested. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR, AND IS NOT COV-
ERED BY THE WARRANTY.
