CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Proper care, maintenance, and cleaning will help ensure a long life of your Power Burner. Periodic
cleaning will help avoid accumulations of flammable grease, fats, and other debris.
CAUTION:
Always allow the Power Burner to cool before cleaning.
STAINLESS STEEL & GENERAL PRODUCT CARE:
To keep your Power Burner free of surface corrosion and in good working order, it is important to take
additional precautions under certain conditions.
If your Power Burner is located in corrosive conditions, such as:
• A coastal environment where corrosive salty air is present
•
Near a swimming pool, hot tub or water feature with exposure to corrosive pool chemicals and/or
chlorinated water
• Areas where muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) or other corrosive cleaning solutions are used to
clean concrete and masonry
• Areas where corrosive masonry dust and debris are created by cutting stone or mixing cements
These conditions can create a highly corrosive environment that will cause the corrosions resistant
type 304 stainless steel to develop surface oxidation, corrosions or rust.
Delta Heat products have been tested in saline solutions, highly chlorinated solutions and have been
tested against exposure to highly acidic foods. The test results proved the type 304 stainless steel
can withstand exposure over prolonged periods of time. However, the conditions outlined above,
along with neglect, can lead to surface corrosion or rust.
ATTENTION:
• Do not allow food particles or grease to be left on the surfaces of the Power Burner. These can
attract rodents, which are unsanitary and are likely to cause physical damage by chewing on the
wiring, which can cause permanent damage to the electrical components.
• Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can
be removed by using a mild abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner
and always scrub in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool to clean any surfaces on the
Power Burner.
• In the event that surface corrosion has developed on the stainless steel, it is typically not the
stainless steel that is corroding but corrosive particles that have been deposited on the surface.
WARNING:
It is recommended that your Delta Heat products be kept dry and covered when not in use. This is
even more important when long-term storage is intended.
If you are located along the coast or in the desert, wind driven sand is extremely abrasive and can pit
and scratch the stainless steel. Keep your Delta Heat products covered when not in use.
KEEP IN MIND:
Delta Heat products are made of all welded stainless steel. It is non-rusting and non-magnetic. Never
clean the stainless steel when it is hot. After the initial use, certain areas of the Power Burner may
discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the stainless steel being exposed to high heat.
