Stainless steel is a steel grade designed that a thin protective sheet is formed on the metallic surface, which protects it against corrosion (Oxide film resulting from the chemical reaction of oxygen on the metallic surface). Anything hindering the formation of this sheet, or facilitating its partial destruction (Food residues, overflow of liquids, stagnant liquids…) reduces the resistance of stainless steel to corrosion. Whilst the composition of stainless steel enables it to withstand some chemical aggression better than classical steels, you must not think that stainless steel is indestructible. ⚫ 3 main factors contributing to corrosion should be watched for: - The chemical environment in general:
- Different brines (Salt concentration, Sauerkraut…)
- Chlorides contained in particular in: - cleaning products - bleach. - The temperature: Any chemical environment is made considerably more aggressive to stainless steel as the temperature rises. - The duration: The longer the contact time between stainless steel and the chemicals, the more noticeable the consequences of corrosion will be.
The combination of these three factors may lead to the eventual destruction of parts of the equipment, even if they have been made in very high-quality stainless steel. Note that when stainless steel becomes corroded, it is extremely rare that this is generated by the steel itself. Generally, cleaning products, which are not appropriate or are improperly used, lack of maintenance or extreme conditions of use are often found to be the cause of the damage. WARNING! The manufacturer will not be held responsible for cases of corrosion resulting from these conditions and the warranty will not apply. A list of the most frequent causes follows, to allow you to better identify possible inappropriate use and to ensure the long service life of your equipment.
Floor cleaning Floors are often cleaned with very aggressive products (prior to handover or during a kitchen deep clean). If the product is sprayed, without necessary precautions or suitable dilution, any splashes on the appliances may result in the corrosion of legs, bases and low level trims. Worse still, if the area is not properly ventilated after application, the vapour from these products may settle on the equipment and result in corrosion spreading to the entire surfaces. Inappropriate cleaning product (Bleach, Acids, Soda) If inappropriate products, such as bleach, acid, or soda dilutions, (all products which are not specifically designed for the maintenance of stainless steels) are used, irreversible etching of the stainless-steel surfaces can occur. Cleaning product applied when the temperature is too high All cleaning products are more aggressive at higher temperature. In principle the temperature of any surface must not exceed 60°C or permanent staining (blackening) of the stainless steel will result. Inadequate rinsing after cleaning After cleaning the surfaces should all be rinsed thoroughly to remove any chemical residues. If this is not done the residue will continue to act over time with the risk of starting the corrosive process. Worse still, if the affected surface is submitted to temperatures over 60°C (inside of an oven, a tank or tank...), the impact will be greater, and corrosion will almost inevitably occur. Stagnation of cleaning products In the same way, all the areas that can trap chemicals, especially the channels, gutters, drainage manifolds, traps etc. must be subject to careful and plentiful rinsing. (Use a nylon brush to reinforce the action of rinsing with clean water). Salt concentration Salt, much in use in kitchens, is often found to be the origin of pitting that can even penetrate the stainless steel. Spillages on any surface should be cleaned up at once. Particular case of cooking in boiling salted water: Salting water in a tank or tank presents a major risk: never put cooking salt into the tank before the water and remember that salt can concentrating on the base of the tank. Salt should be added to the water and stirred until it dissolves, the risk is reduced using table salt which dissolves faster. Intensive use with brine Certain products, such as sauerkraut (acid juices), fish and sea food (presence of salt), and in general, all brines, must be subject to particular attention. In the case of occasional use there should be no problem if equipment is carefully and systematically cleaned after each use. In the case of intensive use, all the cooking equipment (ovens, boiling pans, even utensils) must be selected with a grade of stainless steel specifically adapted to use in such an environment F49571 (07-23)3V-490072NU – 06/23 Page 21

Too much chlorine in the mains water supply Sometimes certain networks supply water containing chlorine at above normal levels. In this event it is not unusual to be faced with problems of corrosion, pay particular attention to bain-marie, water baths, and equipment left to soak overnight etc. Cleaning aluminium or aluminium coated items The presence of aluminium or items that are aluminium coated in a chlorine solution is a particularly powerful catalyst for damaging stainless steel. Do not leave fittings such as hood filters, aluminium trays or dishes soaking in tanks, tanks, pots, fryers etc. Just one night is sufficient to etch stainless steel at the point of contact with aluminium.
WARNING: Regular and thorough cleaning will ensure prolonged service life
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CLEANING CHEMICALS BE USED ON SURFACES THAT ARE OVER 140°F. The result will be serious discolouration and damage to the surfaces. Jet washers and hoses, high or low pressure should never be used for cleaning. The warranty will not cover resulting damage if the following guidance is ignored. The appliance must be isolated electrically during cleaning or maintenance and when replacing parts. Cleaning operations (except the inside of the tank) must be undertaken with the tank lowered (horizontal). This protects the heating elements and active parts from splashing.
It is necessary to keep the metal surface perfectly clean by removing all dust, metallic particles and deposits of any nature that could damage the protective sheet as mentioned above. To achieve this, it is sufficient to wash these surfaces with water and soap or any neutral, non-abrasive detergent product. RINSE CAREFULLY and wipe the surfaces dry. Never scrub stainless steel with wire, if necessary, use a non-stick scourer or similar and scrub in the same direction as the stainless steels polished finish.
The general principle consists in not letting the following settle in certain places: - Substances likely to become concentrated and so become corrosive. - Settling of different minerals contained in water and likely to generate corrosion (walls) performance and life-duration (fan balancing, exchanger dissipation, ...) problems.
In order to remove traces of grease or food scraps that can damage the gasket, regular and manual cleaning of the lid gasket should be performed on the inner and outer faces. Before cleaning, use water with soap or neutral and non-abrasive detergent with a sponge or a soft cloth to remove the grease from the lid gasket.
The materials used intensively and regularly for cooking corrosive products, such as sea fish, sauerkraut, …, should be cleaned carefully and systematically after each use. F49571 (07-23)3V-490072NU – 06/23 Page 22
