Care of Stainless Steel
Page 10
Stainless Steel is widely used for catering
and residential kitchen equipment because
of its strength, its ability to resist corrosion
and its ease of cleaning. In fact, stainless
steel ranks alongside glass and new china
in terms of "ease of cleaning" and in
percentage removal of bacteria during
washing up. As a result of these virtues,
the metal is often taken for granted and
it is assumed that no problems will arise
during its usage. However, some care is
required to ensure that the stainless steel
can live up to this reputation.
DAY TO DAY CARE
To maintain the original appearance of
your SOLAIRE INFRARED Grill, a regular
cleaning routine should be carried out
using the following guidelines:
1. After use, following the safety precau-
tions detailed on Pgs. 2-3, wipe the Grill
with a soft, damp, soapy cloth, or cleaner
such as 409, and rinse with clean water,
preferably warm/hot water. This should
remove most substances encountered
during the grilling process.
2. For more tenacious deposits, including
oil, grease and water-borne deposits, use
a multi purpose cream cleanser and apply
with a soft damp cloth. Rinsing with fresh
water, as above, should follow this.
3. For really stubborn dirt or burnt on
grease, a nylon-scouring pad may be
used in conjunction with the cream
cleanser, such as Soft Scrub. On no
account should "wire wool" pads be used
unless they are made of stainless steel.
4. Harsh abrasives and scouring materials
should not be used for cleaning stainless
steel as they will leave scratch marks in the
surface and damage the appearance of
the Grill. Likewise do not use wire brushes,
scrapers or contaminated scouring pads.
5. Your SOLAIRE INFRARED Grill has a
directional polished grain, any cleaning
with abrasives should be carried out
along this grain and not across it.
6. After use, always remove wet cleaning
aids (such as cloths, pads, containers)
from the surface, to avoid formation of
water marks/stains.
7. If required, dry the Grill after use with
a soft dry cloth or towel.
There are many different stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use the
mildest cleaning procedure first, scrub-
bing in the direction of the grain. To
touch up noticeable scratches in the stain-
less steel, sand very lightly with dry 100
grit emery paper in the direction of the
grain. Specks of grease can gather on the
surfaces of the stainless steel and bake
on to the surface and give the appear-
ance of rust. For removal use an abrasive
pad (not steel wool) in conjunction with
stainless steel cleaner.
If the preceding guidelines are adhered
to, your SOLAIRE Stainless Steel Grill
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,
particularly on stainless steel, are rust
marks and pitting of the surface.
