WHAT TO DO IF SURFACE RUST APPEARS
Metal utensils should never be used as they will scratch the surface of the equipment and rust
may begin to form. To remove surface accumulation of rust from the inadvertent use of such
utensils, the following may be used.
CAUTION: Improper use of this procedure may damage your
appliance.
1. Use undiluted white vinegar with a non abrasive scouring pad (plastic) or cloth on the
affected area to remove the rust stains. The appliance should not be heated and remain at
room temperature during the entire cleaning process.
2. If the stain resists removal, additional exposure time with vinegar may be required, to a
maximum of one hour.
3. Thoroughly wash all the vinegar away with fresh water. Dry the surface completely and
allow one hour before using the appliance to cook.
Following daily and period maintenance procedures will prolong the life of your equipment.
Climatic conditions - salt air - may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the
equipment could be adversely affected.
USE OF CLEANING AGENTS THAT CONTAIN CHLORIDE, ACIDS OR SALTS ARE
CORROSIVE AND MAY CAUSE PITTING AND CORROSION WHEN USED OVER A PERIOD
OF TIME. THIS WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE APPLIANCE.
SHOULD PITTING OR CORROSION OCCUR THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
