More damage can be caused by:
• outside rust (i.e. from other components, tools or incipient rust)
• iron particles (i.e. file dust)
• contact with non-ferrous metals (element build up)
• lack of oxygen (i.e. no air inlet, water lacking oxygen).
6.6.2 Warnings and advice for maintenance of "stain-
less steel" appliances
• "Stainless" steel equipment surfaces must be kept clean and in
contact with air at all times. When not running, keep appliance
doors open so as to allow air to run through it.
• Regularly remove calcium , grease, starch, and egg white deposits
where rust may build up if there is lack of air. Do not use bleach-
ing products or products containing chloride. Follow all indica-
tions given by the company concerning special soaps and clean-
ing methods to be used for the appliance. If no specific cleaning
recommendations are available, it is necessary, however, to use
detergents having a low chloride content. After cleaning, remove
all soap residues with plenty of clean water and thoroughly dry
the surfaces.
• Minimize contact of "stainless steel" with concentrated acids,
spices, salts, etc. Even acid vapours coming from cleaning the tiles
favour "stainless steel" corrosion.
• Particularly for pots and multiple appliances, it is not recom-
mended to load the cooking chamber only with food having a
high salt content.
It is preferable to cook different food together, i.e. fatty dishes
or vegetables containing acids.
• Avoid damaging the "stainless steel" surface, in particular with
different metals. Residues from other metals help build up the
formation of chemical microelements that may cause rust. At any
rate, it is appropriate to avoid contact between iron and steel
since it produces rust. Any contact between "stainless steel" and
iron (steel wool, pipeline chips, chalybeate waters) can start cor-
rosion phenomena.
• As for mechanical cleaning, it is recommended to use only steel
wool or natural, plastic or steel bristle brushes. Steel wool or
brushes with "stainless steel" can cause rust due to rubbing. Newly
formed rust spots can be removed with slightly abrasive liquid
soaps or fine-grained sand paper. Larger rust spots can be removed
with 2-3% of hot oxalic acid solution. If these cleaning products do
not do the job, a nitric acid (10%) treatment is required.
Attention! These treatments can be carried out only by
expert personnel according to current regulations!
