Operation
Advice
Be sure your hair is not loose in order to avoid getting caught by turning parts which could lead to a serious
accident. Tie your hair up and/or cover your head with a scarf. The operation performed by untrained personnel
shall be forbidden. Never touch turning parts with your hands or in any other way. NEVER operate machine
without all original safety devices under perfect conditions.
Cautions with Stainless Steel:
The Stainless Steel may present rust signs, which ARE ALWAYS CAUSED BY EXTERNAL AGENTS ,
especially when the cleaning or sanitization is not constant and appropriate. The Stainless Steel resistance
towards corrosion is mainly due to the presence of chrome, which in contact with oxygen allows the formation
of a very thin protective coat. This protective coat is formed through the whole surface of the steel, blocking
the action of external corrosive agents. When the protective coat is broken, the corrosion process begins,
being possible to avoid it by means of constant and adequate cleaning. Cleaning must always be done
immediately after using the equipment. For such end, use water, neutral soap or detergent, and clean the
equipment with a soft cloth or a nylon sponge. Then rinse it with plain running water, and dry immediately with
a soft cloth, this way avoiding humidity on surfaces and especially on gaps. The rinsing and drying processes
are extremely important to prevent stains and corrosion from arising.
IMPORTANT: Acid solutions, salty solutions, disinfectants and some sterilizing solutions
(hypochlorites, tetravalent ammonia 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 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., saltern solutions (brine), blood, detergents
(except for the neutral ones), common steel particles, residue of sponges or common steel wool, and also
other abrasives.
