Maintenance Tips

• Clean & dry daily: Wipe interior and exterior surfaces with mild detergent and warm water; rinse and dry completely to prevent moisture buildup and corrosion.

• Sanitize regularly: Use a food‑safe sanitizer on interior surfaces after heavy use to maintain hygiene.

• Avoid abrasives: Do not use steel wool, wire brushes, or harsh chemical cleaners that can scratch or damage metal or bin surfaces.

• Clean drain area: Ensure drain channels are clear of debris and flush with warm water to prevent clogs and odors.

• Wipe with the grain: For stainless parts, use a soft cloth following the grain to preserve finish and minimize streaks.

• Polish occasionally: Apply a non‑abrasive stainless steel cleaner to exterior surfaces to maintain shine and resist fingerprints.

• Inspect hardware: Periodically check and tighten fasteners, brackets, and feet to ensure stability under load.
