Troubleshooting
PROBLEMS, CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS
The processor has been designed to need minimum maintenance, however, some performance failures may
happen due mainly to natural worn out, caused by the use of the processor. If some problems arise with your
processor check table below where there are detailed some possible solutions.

Maintenance
salts, iodine compounds, nitric acid and others), must be AVOIDED, once it cannot remain for long in contact
with the stainless steel.
These substances attack the stainless steel due to the CHLORINE on its composition, causing corrosion spots
(pitting). Even detergents used in domestic cleaning must not remain in contact with the stainless steel longer
than the necessary, being mandatory to remove it with plain water and then dry the surface completely.
USE OF ABRASIVES:
Sponges or steel wool and carbon steel brushes, besides scratching the surface and compromising the
stainless steel protection, leave particles that rust and react contaminating the stainless steel. That is why such
products must not be used for cleaning and sanitization. Scrapings made with sharp instruments or similar
must also be avoided.
MAIN SUBSTANCES THAT CAUSE STAINLESS STEEL CORROSION:
Dust, grease, acid solutions such as vinegar, fruit juices, etc., salty solutions (brine), blood, detergents (except
for the neutral ones), common steel particles, residue of sponges or common steel wool, and also other
abrasives.
