ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT CLEANING AND STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
In order to maintain your Side Burner in clean working order, it will be necessary, under certain condi-
tions, to take additional precautions. If your Side Burner is located in a coastal area, it will be exposed to
salty air which is corrosive.
If it is located close to a swimming pool or Jacuzzi with chlorinated water, then it will be exposed to dilute
hydrochloric acid which can be formed as a result of chlorine compounds used in the pool causing chlo-
rine to be combined with hydrogen and water in the atmosphere.
Also, muriatic acid ( another name for hydrochloric acid) is used to maintain the correct ph balance in the
pool water. Chlorine is an oxidizing agent, and as such can promote rapid corrosion or other oxidizing
processes which can damage various materials.
Type 304 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion but given enough exposure to such corrosive
conditions might succumb to some degree, such that pitting or rusting may occur. Our Side Burner mate-
rials have been tested in saline solutions with higher salinity than sea water, and they have been tested
in highly chlorinated solutions.
They have also been tested by exposure to highly acidic foods. During and after these tests, we found
these materials were able to withstand exposure over prolonged periods of time.
However, the above mentioned corrosive substances, along with neglect, can lead to a situation where-
by conditions might combine to cause some damage to occur. Therefore, we suggest that you always
keep your Side Burner clean, dry and covered when not in use. This is even more important when long
term storage is intended; always store the Side Burner clean, dry and covered with your cover.
Also, do not allow any food particles or grease to be left inside your Side Burner, as this will attract ro-
dents which, in addition to being undesirable from an hygienic standpoint, are likely to cause physical
damage to your Side Burner. Rodents are known to chew on the insulation of wiring which will eventual-
ly cause permanent damage to the wiring and possibly electrical components.
One final consideration for Side Burners located either along the coast or in a desert community: Wind
driven sand is highly abrasive, therefore constant exposure will eventually pit and scratch almost any-
thing; one more reason to keep your Side Burner covered when not in use. By routinely caring for your
Side Burner as outlined in this manual, you can enjoy many years of service from it and keep it looking
the way it should.
