accessories
Elkay colanders, cutting boards, rinsing baskets
and bottom grids are not designed as “Dishwasher
Safe” or “Microwave Safe”. These products should
be hand washed in a mild detergent, rinsed
thoroughly and hand dried.
To maintain the beauty and quality of your cutting
board, please follow these simple instructions:
• Clean by washing with hot soapy water after
preparing each food item and before you go
on to the next item.
• A solution of 1 teaspoon of chlorine bleach in
1 quart of water should be used to sanitize
surfaces. Flood the surface with the solution
and allow it to stand for several minutes.
• Rinse thoroughly and air dry or pat dry with
clean paper towels.
• For wood cutting boards – apply a coat of
mineral oil to all wood surfaces on a monthly
basis or more frequently if needed.
• Do NOT place your cutting board in the
dishwasher.
• Do NOT place your cutting board in the
microwave.
• Do NOT immerse your cutting board in water.
• Do NOT allow hot surfaces to come in contact
with your cutting board.
• Do NOT store your cutting board on or in your
stainless steel sink when not in use.
• The following are recommendations from the
USDA regarding cutting boards:
◗ Always use a clean cutting board.
◗ If possible, use one cutting board for fresh
produce and a separate one for raw meat,
poultry, and seafood.
◗ Once cutting boards become excessively
worn or develop hard-to-clean grooves,
you should replace them.
