- The ovens are prepared to use the “gastronorm” trays, GN 2/1.
- Remove the remains of the food from the cooking table, especially if they
have been cooked with salt. Avoid contact of these products with stainless steel
surfaces. If this happens, clean with a damp cloth.
- Before cleaning the appliance and using any detergent, check that it does not
damage the stainless steel. The use of industrial dishwasher detergents is not
recommended. Use scourers and spatulas made of stainless steel or softer
materials.
- Debris and dark stains can be removed with a stainless steel scourer or
synthetic sponge, always cleaning in the same direction.
- If you need to remove rust stains, contact an industrial detergent manufacturer
to find the right product. After cleaning and rinsing it may be necessary to use
an alkaline detergent to neutralize any acid components that remained on the
surface.
- In case of prolonged inactivity of the kitchen, clean it first, then dry it well and
protect it by applying a layer of a suitable product (for example, liquid paraffin
spray, or similar).
- Cleaning according to these instructions is recommended. Cleaning that
does not follow these instructions can damage the components of the
appliance and decrease its performance and durability.
3.1. PRECAUTIONS
The main causes of deterioration and corrosion of stainless steel are:
- The use of abrasive or acid detergents, mainly chlorine-based, for
example, bleach.
- Stagnation of iron deposits caused by rust that dissolves in water and deposits
on components, especially when the devices are not used for a long period of
time.
- Contamination by contact with ferrous materials (steel wool pads, steel
spatulas or other ferrous tools).
- The deposit and concentration of substances that contain acidic components
such as vinegar, lemon juice or salt.
- Cleaning products with aggressive characteristics should not be used to clean
the floor near the appliances as the vapors that emanate can lodge on the
stainless steel surfaces and contribute to their deterioration.
