CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen equipment because of its strength, its
ability to resist corrosion, and its ease of cleaning. Unfortunately, the metal is often taken for granted
and it is assumed that no problems will arise during its usage. However, some care is required to ensure
a long service life of the Pizza Oven.
To maintain the original appearance of your Hestan Pizza Oven, a regular cleaning routine should be
carried out using the following guidelines:
1. After use, following the safety precautions detailed earlier in this manual, wipe the appliance with
a soft, damp, soapy cloth and rinse with clean, warm water. This should remove most substances
encountered during the cooking process.
2. For stubborn stains, including burnt-on grease and food-borne deposits, use a multipurpose, non-
abrasive, cream cleanser and apply with a soft damp cloth. Rinse with fresh water, as described
above. On no account should steel wool pads be used unless they are made of stainless steel.
3. Harsh abrasives and metallic scouring materials should not be used for cleaning stainless steel as
they will leave scratch marks in the surface and damage the appearance of the appliance. Likewise,
do not use wire brushes, scrapers or contaminated scouring pads.
4. For those areas with a directional grain, any cleaning with abrasives should be carried out along this
grain direction and not across it.
5. After use, always remove wet cleaning aids (such as cloths, pads, containers) from the surface, to
avoid formation of water marks or stains.
6. If required, dry the appliance after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.
If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your Hestan Pizza Oven should offer excellent life and
should live up to its reputation of being “stainless”. Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to
deterioration of the surface and, in some extreme cases, corrosion of the steel itself. The two most
common types of corrosion that may be encountered, particularly on stainless steel, are rust marks and
pitting of the surface.
USING YOUR PIZZA OVEN

COOKING WITH THE PIZZA OVEN
After lighting, the oven will require a mininum of 30-40 minutes of pre-heat time to come up to
cooking temperature. DO NOT run the unit with the door cover in place.
As with any new tool, it will take a little practice to get to know your new Pizza Oven, how hot it runs,
the best locations on the deck for cooking the dough, and then
where to move it to finish cooking the top. The included peel will
help you safely move the pizza around the oven interior.
A simple oven thermometer such as the one pictured here, may
be useful to help gauge the interior temperatures. This type of
thermometer is very simple and inexpensive, and available at the
grocery store, or most culinary supply stores.
