minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleaners.

1. Place a small amount of stainless steel appliance
cleaner or polish on a damp cloth or paper towel.
2. Clean a small area, rubbing with the grain of the
stainless steel if applicable.
3. Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft
cloth.
4. Repeat as necessary.
