5 Cleaning
5.1 Avoiding corrosion
●Keep the surfaces of the unit clean and well aired.
●Regularly remove accumulated layers of scale, grease, starch and
protein.
●Regularly remove salt deposits.
●Only allow parts made of stainless steel to come into brief contact
with strongly acidic foodstuffs, spices, salts or similar substances.
●Avoid damaging the stainless steel surface with other metallic items
(steel spatulas, steel wire brushes).
●Avoid contact with iron and steel (steel wool, steel spatulas, chippings
from the water pipes, water containing iron).
●Eliminate newly rusted points (e.g. which may have formed due to
contact with iron) using a mild scouring agent or fine sandpaper.
Always remove rust spots completely. The treated areas need to be
exposed to air for at least 24 hours. They may not come into contact
with grease, oils or food. During this time, the anti-corrosive passive
layer is able to form again automatically.
●Do not use cleansers containing bleach or chlorine.
●Clean contact surfaces with fresh water.
5.2 General cleaning
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to hot surfaces
→Allow surfaces to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION
Damage due to penetration of water
The unit is spray waterproof.
→Never splash the unit with a water or steam high-pressure cleaner.
CAUTION
Damage to surfaces caused by incorrect cleaning
→Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths.
→Do not use aggressive cleaners (e.g. grill cleaner).
