RUST-BROWN MARKSRUST-BROWN MARKS
These rust marks are likely the result of small particles of “ordinary-steel” which have become attached
to the surface and have subsequently rusted in the damp environment. The most common source of
such particles is from steel wool scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from carbon steel
utensils and old water supply pipes. These brown marks are only superficial stains, which will not harm
the Pizza Oven. They should be removable using a soft damp cloth and a multi-purpose, non-abrasive,
cream cleanser. Occasionally, it may be necessary to resort to a proprietary stainless steel cleanser
to return the surface of the Pizza Oven to its original condition. To avoid re-occurrence of any “rust-
staining”, it is essential that the source of the contamination is eliminated. A Hestan Pizza Oven cover
will go a long way toward preventing this kind of contamination.
PITTINGPITTING
A more severe form of corrosion is pitting of the surface. The sources of this corrosive attack can
usually be attributed to certain household products such as bleach, household cleaners containing
bleach (sodium hypochlorite), and pool chlorine. If you see pitting of the stainless steel surface, you
can attempt to buff it out using stainless steel abrasive pads, but in most cases, pitting of the surface
cannot be removed.
FOODSTUFFSFOODSTUFFS
In general, stainless steel is fully resistant to all foodstuffs in common use. Only in isolated cases, such
as when concentrated salt and vinegar mixtures are allowed to remain in contact with the steel for a
prolonged period, can any surface marking result. Clean the surface as per instructions above.
CARE OF PAINTED SURFACES (IF APPLICABLE)
Hestan Pizza Ovens are available in standard stainless steel, or 11 Hestan signature color finish options.
The tough powder-coating on these panels are commonly used on automotive parts, and commercial
and residential appliances because of their excellent chip resistance, and resistance to a variety of
chemicals. The finish should hold up well outdoors in most conditions. However, like any painted
surface, special care must be taken when cleaning this finish.
To clean your powder-coated surface:
1. Carefully remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge.
2. Use a soft brush (non-abrasive) or cloth, and a mild household detergent solution to remove dust,
salt and other deposits. Never use any solvent-based cleaners, stainless steel cleaners, heavy
degreasers, oven cleaners, etc. on the painted surfaces. They can permanently damage the paint.
3. Rinse off with clean fresh water and dry thoroughly.
CERAMIC OVEN DECK
The Pizza Oven deck is made of a refractive ceramic material widely used in pizza ovens, furnaces, etc.
It is highly resistant to thermal shock, and should last for the lifetime of the appliance. However, it is a
ceramic material and can be cracked if a heavy object is dropped on it, such as a heavy pan. Use caution
when placing heavy objects inside the oven.
It is recommended to use the appliance for pizza, and other non-oily products. The deck is unglazed
and porous, which can absorb cooking oils and greases. If using the appliance for cooking other
items, such as finishing a roast in an iron pan, keep it covered with an appropriate lid (not aluminum
foil). Avoid grease deposits on the ceramic deck, as they are absorbed by the material and cause
discoloration, and may result in bad odors and flavors that will transfer to your pizzas. Never clean
while the Pizza Oven is on, or hot from recent use.
CLEANINGCLEANING
If the appliance is used primarily for pizzas, the ceramic surface should stay relatively clean, unless
cheese, sauces, oils, etc. are spilled on the surface; or a spillover or spatter from a fatty food item
