Use and Care Manual

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Karran stainless steel sink is manufactured from the highest quality nickel bearing stainless steel. With the right care it will last a lifeme.
All Karran sinks have a lustrous san nish which is easy to maintain and clean. Many cleaners work well with Karran stainless steel sinks. All that is
generally required is a simple liquid soap and a dish rag. Some of the cleaners that also work, only if needed, are Bar Keeper's Friend™, Zud™,
Comet™, Flitz™, So Scrub™ and Mr. Clean™.
Regular maintenance will keep your sink looking great:
 The most important maintenance requirement for any stainless steel sink is to thoroughly rinse and wipe out the sink aer each use with a dish
rag or paper towel. Remaining water, food, soap residue and mineral deposits may remain on your sinks surface aer use if not rinsed thoroughly,
and if le there may mark your sink, requiring more intensive cleaning later.
 When scouring your sink (with a 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad), which may be done periodically only if needed, ensure that you rub in the direcon of the
san nish grain lines. Do not scour across the san nish grain lines. This will damage the lustrous san nish of your sink.
 Never leave soaps, detergents or other cleansers on your sink’s surface to dry. Most contain chlorides and chemicals that could, if le on the sink’s
surface, damage it.
 Do not soak your sink with soluons of bleach. Bleach, and most soaps and detergents, contain chlorides that will damage your sink if le on the
surface for an extended period of me.
 Do not use steel wool on your sink. Steel wool can break down and leave small steel parcles on your sink’s surface that will rust. If aggressive
cleaning is needed, use a 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad.
 Do not leave wets sponges and cloths in your sink. They may lead to surface rust.
 Water quality in your area may aect your sinks appearance. When water has a high iron content, it may leave a brown stain on your sink. Over-
soened water will leave a white lm on the sink’s surface. Thorough rinsing and towel drying will help alleviate these issues.
 The use of rubber mats is not recommended as they may cause possible ping or surface rust. If mats are used, remove them from your sink aer
each use.
Stainless steel, like all metallic surfaces, will scratch. These scratches will blend into the overall san nish of your sink over me. Do not use your sink
as a cung board or chopping block. This type of use may cause deep scratches in the nish of your sink.
Follow these simple maintenance ps to keep your sink looking its best for years.
