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 procedure may be used.
WHAT TO DO IF SURFACE RUST APPEARS (Continued) TO REMOVE HEAT TINT: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and is not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines using SCOTCH-BRITE™...
8.0 SERVICE GENERAL NOTICE: Contact the factory, the factory representative or local service company to perform maintenance and repairs. In order to avoid problems, check that the unit has been connected to the gas supply type and voltage for which it was supplied. This can be done by examining the rating plate that lists the gas type and voltage for which the unit was manufactured.
