If  the  preceding  guidelines  are  adhered  to,  your  ALFRESCO™  Side  Burner  should  offer  excellent  life 
and should live up to its reputation of being “stainless”. 
Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to deterioration of the surface and, in some extreme cases, 
corrosion of the steel itself. The two most common types of corrosion that may be encountered, particu-
larly on stainless steel, are rust marks and pitting of the surface. 
 
RUST-BROWN MARKS: 
When this type of staining occurs it is unlikely that rusting of the stainless steel itself caused the marks.  
Similar marks can be found with both porcelain and plastic sinks. The rust marks are more likely to be 
the  result  of  small  particles  of  “ordinary-

steel” which have become attached to the surface; these have 

subsequently rusted in the damp environment. The most common source of such particles is from “wire-
wool” scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from carbon steel utensils and old cast iron wa-
ter supply pipes. 

These brown marks are only superficial stains, which will not harm the Side Burner; they should be re-

movable using a soft damp cloth and a multi-purpose cream cleanser. 
Occasionally, it may be necessary to resort to a proprietary stainless steel cleanser, to return the surface 
of  the  Side  Burner  to  its  original  condition.  To  avoid  re-occurrence  of  any  “rust-staining”  it  is  essential 
that the source of the contamination is eliminated. 
 
PITTING: 
Another form of corrosion, which occasionally occurs in stainless steel, is pitting of the surface. The rea-
son for this corrosive attack can usually be attributed to certain household products, for example: 
 
Bleaches: 
Most  common  domestic  bleaches  &  sterilizing  solutions  contain  chlorine  in  the  form  of  sodium  hypo-
chlorite. If used in concentrated form, bleaches can attack the stainless steel, causing pitting of the sur-
face.  They should always be used to the strengths prescribed by the manufacturer and should be thor-
oughly rinsed off with clean water immediately after use. All cleaning agents containing hypochlorite are 
unsuitable for long term contact with stainless steel and, even when used in the highly diluted form, they 
can produce pitting under certain conditions. 
 
Foodstuffs: 
In general stainless steel is fully resistant to all foodstuffs in common use. Only in isolated cases, such 
as when concentrated salt and vinegar mixtures are allowed to remain in contact with the steel for a long 
period, can any surface marking result. 
 
 
 

TROUBLESHOOTING:

 

 
 
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE: 
If your ALFRESCO™ Side Burner does not function properly use the following checklist before contact-
ing your dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call and the inconvenience of being with-
out  your  Side  Burner.  Additional  troubleshooting  tips  can  be  found  on  our  website  at 

www.alfrescogrills.com.

 

 
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING: 
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other Side Burner, and cause the gas to flow 
from the wrong side of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur 
behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the Side Burner and making it unsafe to operate.
