abrasion caused by the pot bases the surface will
become damaged and dark stains will occur.
To clean the Tepan stainless steel grill you need a special
Tepan spatula and suitable cleaning agents.

pads or chemically aggressive cleaning agents (e.g.
oven cleaner spray).

any sand, soda, acids, lyes or chloride.
