a year by a specialist service engineer. He should check partcularly the safeties and heating elements.
This can be done by any kitchen service engineer or other specialist personnel under service contract.
6. USEFUL HINTS ON STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
6.1 GENERAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Stainless steel is so called because it is not affected by oxidation; this is due to a thin molecular layer of
oxide on the surface which protects against further oxidation.
There are, however, substances which can modify or destoy this layer, giving rise to corrosion; besides
preventing the protective film of oxide from reforming, these substances corrode the stainless steel itself and
can cause irreparable damage.
It is therefore necessary to prevent this by choosing correct cleaning products and by complying with the
following simple recommendations: never forget that when using these appliances, the first and
fundamental rule is to guarantee that the treated products are both non-toxic and Hygienic.
Before using any detergent to clean either the stainless steel or the immediate and sorrounding floor area,
always ask your supplier for the most suitable product which does not cause corrosion on the steel itself; the
onset of rust is most commonly caused by the usage of unsuitable cleaning materials (strongly acid chlorate
based detergents) or on inadequate maintenance.
Our appliances are made of:
• AISI 304 stainless steel (18-10 type) for exterior panelling, upper tops, tanks, cooking vessels, sinks, etc.
• AISI 430 stainless steel for some internal parts.
Comply with the following instructions when cleaning and servicing parts in stainless steel.
6.2 ORDINARY DAILY MAINTENANCE
Carefully and frequently clean the surfaces using a damp cloth; use soap and water or normal detergents, so
long as these do not contain abrasives or chlorine based substances, such as sodium hypochloride
(bleech), hydrochloric acid or other such solutions. These poducts quickly and irreparably corrode stainless
steel. When cleaning floors underneath or near the appliances, never use the above mentioned products as
vapours or splashhes could subject the steel to similar destructive effects.
