Cleaning And Maintenance; Important Recommendations - Lotus PD100-98G Instalación Uso Y Mantenimiento

• Weight- and spring-controlled safety and venting
valve "R" installed on the hermetic lid.
The valve vents at the pressure of 0.05 bar.
Lower the heat input when the valve begins to vent.
Before starting to open the autoclave-type lid,
press the black button to release the pressure of
the tank.
Always keep the safety valve clean of food
residues that could clog the vent duct.

7 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Submit the appliance to a complete inspection at
least once a year. At intervals of at least once every
six months, have a specialized technician check the
efficiency of the safety devices and the lid balancing
system.
• Clean the stainless-steel parts daily with warm soapy
water, then rinse freely and dry thoroughly. For any
stubborn dirt, use a nylon brush.
• Avoid absolutely any continuous or even occasional
contact of the appliance with utensils of ferrous
materials which could initiate corrosion. For this
reason, use only kitchen utensils (ladles, blades,
spoons, etc.) made of stainless steel.
For the same reason, avoid cleaning the stainless-
steel surfaces with steel wool, brushes or scrapers of
normal steel. If necessary, the appliance can be
scoured with stainless-steel wool rubbed lightly in the
same direction as the satin finish.
• Add the salt only when the water is boiling, and
eliminate any food residues immediately after the end
of each cooking process.
Never use coarse table salt, because, as it dissolves
very slowly, it could have a corrosive action on the
bottom of the pan. Therefore, use fine table salt (with
particle sizes of less than 3 mm). If fine salt is not
available, dissolve the coarse salt first in warm water
in a separate container.
• If the appliance is to be left idle for long periods, rub
all the steel surfaces briskly with a cloth moistened
with Vaseline oil so as to leave a protective coating
on the metal. Also ventilate the operating environment
at frequent intervals.
• When the pan is not being used, keep the lid open.
• Remove and clean frequently the safety valve placed
on the lid.

8 - IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

• Never wash the appliance with direct or high
pressure water jets because any water reaching
the internal components could affect the proper
operation and safety of the appliance.
• Do not use products containing chloride (bleach,
hydrochloric acid, etc.), even in diluted form, to
clean the steel surfaces.
• Do not use corrosive products (e.g., acids) to
clean the floor under the appliance.
• Do not alter in any way the aeration capacity
required for gas combustion.
• The appliance is made more than 90% of metal
materials (stainless
copper); these materials can be recycled through
the conventional recycling facilities, in compli-
ance with the applicable standards in each
country.
• The appliance to be scrapped must be made
unworkable. Also remove the lid, to avoid the
possibility of anyone remaining locked inside the
tank.
