1. Concrete is a porous material. It is important to avoid dripping liquid
(such as bioethanol or alcohol) onto the concrete surfaces as it may
break down the sealer and stain the surface permanently.
2. Do not put HOT burner lids down on the concrete surfaces. It could
damage the model.
Maintenance and cleaning must be performed only when the burner
is OFF, COMPLeTeLY eMPTY, drY and at rOOM TeMPeraTUre.
OUr COnCreTe COMPOSiTe
Concrete is a natural material and therefore each and every model will be
unique in appearance.
After a concrete surface is polished there are a variety of visual differences
that may be seen including water marks, trowel marks, marbling, mottled
effects and random spotting etc. We cannot predict where the effects will
show or what they will be – it is part of the beauty of concrete.
Examples of acceptable variations
Cleaning
The solid surface surrounds of your EcoSmart Fire can be cleaned
using mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth.
Do not use heavy abrasives, bleach based products or ammoniated
cleaners - use of such cleaners will wear down the sealer and result in
scratches and decease stain resistance. We do not recommend use of
most natural cleaners (which are often citrus based), as the cleaning agent
is typically highly acidic and can damage natural materials.
It is recommended to test a small, discreet area first to ensure the cleaning
product will not mark or damage the surface.
avoiding Stains
In the event that the coating is knowingly cut, scraped, or damaged, a
new layer of sealer should be applied. Spills should be wiped up as soon
as possible. While the sealer performs well against stains from oils and
acidic materials, prolonged exposure may cause a breakdown of the
sealer and possible discoloration.
Do not place hot objects on the surface as they may cause discoloration.
Using a trivet is recommended. Refrain from applying blue painter's tape
or other adhesives directly to the product.

Although not considered a defect, non-structural hairline cracks are
possible and may result from shrinkage and the natural curing process. If
hairline cracks do appear, immediately apply a sealer to prevent moisture
from seeping into the cracks and causing discoloration. Re-seal the
surrounding surfaces periodically.
General Maintenance
Concrete is a porous material and while the surface is sealed at point of
manufacture, the sealer may break down over time due to environmental
factors like UV rays and general use. We recommend that you seal the
concrete surfaces on an annual basis using a suitable sealer which will help
in renewing the protective sealer layer on your product. Your distributor
will know of the best brand to use in your local market. Use the protective
cover when not in use.
removing Stains
Even with adequate sealer, liquids like red wine, oil, and other acid
products could still break down the sealer and be absorbed into the
material - particularly if not well maintained. To remove you could try a
fine grit sand paper to remove the stains from the surface (remembering
to test a small patch in a discreet area first to ensure it doesn't damage
the surface). Then re-apply sealer.

Cleaning
Routine cleaning can be accomplished by using warm water and a cloth.
When cleaning stainless steel always wipe in the direction of the grain.
A drop of mild dish detergent and warm water is often all you need to
get tougher dirt off of your stainless steel. Use a soft, damp cloth to
wipe away any remaining residue.
Dry out completely before re-using the appliance.
