MAINTENANCE
STAINLESS STEEL
To remove normal dirt, grease or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and
water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean
cloth. Never use vinegar or any corrosive cleaner.
To remove grease and food splatters or condensed vapours that have baked on the equipment,
apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the
polishing lines on the metal. Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible in the direction of the
polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel.
NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR
MOTION.
Soil and burnt deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed
by rubbing the surface with
SCOTCH-BRITE
scouring pads or
STAINLESS
scouring pads.
DO
NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL
as any particles left on the surface will rust and further
spoil the appearance of the finish.
NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS
(EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS.
Surfaces which are
marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the
possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.
TO REMOVE HEAT TINT
Darkened areas sometimes appear on the stainless steel surface where the area has been
subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective
surface of the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the
foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the
direction of the polish lines using
SCOTCH-BRITE
scouring pads or a
STAINLESS
scouring
pad in combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying
or by reducing heat to equipment during slack periods.
REMOVAL OF SCALE DEPOSITS
It is recommended that your steamer be delimed once a month, or more often if necessary.
Should your steamer develop a heavy build-up of lime scale deposits, use the CLR
TREATMENT KIT available from your authorized servicer.
Before beginning deliming procedures, ensure that the water is not overflowing into the cooking
compartment.
