RUST-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 Power Burner. 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 Power Burner 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 Power Burner cover will go a long way toward preventing this kind of
contamination.
PITTING
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.
FOODSTUFFS
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 Power Burners 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
CARE & MAINTENANCE OF POWER BURNER COMPONENTS
POWER BURNER GRATES
Should the grate or center insert require cleaning, the easiest way to do this is immediately after
cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a grill mitt to protect your hand from
the heat and steam. Dip a brass bristle grill brush in hot soapy water and scrub the hot grate. Dip
the brush frequently in the bowl of water. The steam created as water contacts the hot grate, assists
the cleaning process by softening any food particles. If the Power Burner is allowed to cool before
cleaning, then cleaning will be more difficult.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after every usage of the Power Burner. Leaving a dirty drip tray in
place will attract insects and rodents. After allowing the Power Burner to cool completely, remove
the drip tray by pulling it out of the Power Burner. After cleaning, reinstall the tray.
