6.1 Preventing corrosion
• Keep the surfaces of the unit clean and with access to air.
• Remove lime, grease, starch and protein deposits from the
surfaces of the unit.
• Remove salt accumulations.
• Only expose parts made from non-rusting steel to brief contact
with highly acidic foods, spices, salts or the like.
• Avoid damaging the stainless steel surface with other metal items,
such as for example steel spatulas or steel wire brushes.
• Avoid contact with iron and steel, such as for example steel wool
and steel spatulas.
• Do not use bleaching or chlorine-containing cleaning agents.
• Clean the contact surfaces with water.
6.2 Remove rust spots
• Remove fresh rust spots with a mild abrasive or fine sandpaper.

• Expose treated areas to fresh air for at least 24 hours. During this
time, do not allow any contact with greases, oils or foods so that a
new protective layer can form.
