Your Aspire Side Burner is a powerful cooking tool that complements your Aspire Grill. DO NOT leave
the side burner unattended while cooking.
COOKING WITH SIDE BURNERS
Use your Aspire Side Burner like you would any residential gas cooktop in your home. Choose the
appropriate pot or pan for the burner. In other words, don’t put a small pot over a large burner. For safety
reasons, control the flame height so that it doesn’t go beyond, or curl up the sides of your pot or pan. This
behavior results in poor heating of the contents of the pan, burnt food on the sides of the pan, wasted fuel,
etc.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen equipment because of its strength, its
ability to resist corrosion, and its ease of cleaning. Unfortunately, the metal is often taken for granted and
it is assumed that no problems will arise during its usage. However, some care is required to ensure a long
service life of the side burner.
To maintain the original appearance of your Aspire side burner, a regular cleaning routine should be
carried out using the following guidelines:
1. After use, following the safety precautions detailed earlier in this manual, wipe the appliance with a soft,
damp, soapy cloth and rinse with clean, warm water. This should remove most substances encountered
during the cooking process.
2. For stubborn stains, including burnt-on grease and food-borne deposits, use a multipurpose, non-abrasive,
cream cleanser and apply with a soft damp cloth. Rinse with fresh water, as described above. On no
account should steel wool pads be used unless they are made of stainless steel.
3. Harsh abrasives and metallic scouring materials should not be used for cleaning stainless steel as they will
leave scratch marks in the surface and damage the appearance of the appliance. Likewise, do not use wire
brushes, scrapers or contaminated scouring pads.
4. For those areas with a directional grain, any cleaning with abrasives should be carried out along this grain
direction and not across it.
5. After use, always remove wet cleaning aids (such as cloths, pads, containers) from the surface, to avoid
formation of water marks or stains.
6. If required, dry the appliance after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.
If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your Aspire side burner should offer excellent life and should
live up to its reputation of being “stainless”. Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to deterioration
of the surface and, in some extreme cases, corrosion of the steel itself. The two most common types of
corrosion that may be encountered, particularly on stainless steel, are rust marks and pitting of the surface.
RUST-BROWN MARKS
These rust marks are likely the result of small particles of “ordinary-steel” which have become attached
to the surface and have subsequently rusted in the damp environment. The most common source of such
particles is from steel wool scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from carbon steel utensils and
old water supply pipes. These brown marks are only superficial stains, which will not harm the side burner.
They should be removable using a soft damp cloth and a multi-purpose, non-abrasive, cream cleanser.
Occasionally, it may be necessary to resort to a proprietary stainless steel cleanser to return the surface of
