Pizza Oven Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular Maintenance
OXIDIZATION Removal
List of common conditions that cause corrosion or discoloration of
stainless steel and should be avoided:
Clean the exterior surfaces of the Pizza Oven with the damp micro ber cloth. Then wipe the surface
dry remembering to follow the grain direction of the stainless steel. It is recommended to clean the
Pizza Oven after a few cooking sessions. If the Pizza Oven is being used in coastal areas or next to a
swimming pool, the Pizza Oven should be clean more frequently. Do not use abrasive cleaners or a
scouring pad of any type as they will cause excessive wear and dull the nish. Stainless steel nishes
in coastal environments may show tea staining if not cleaned regularly.
If you observe oxidation, on the exterior surfaces of the oven, follow the below steps:
1. Use a damp micro ber cloth and gently clean the surface in the direction of the stainless steel
grain.
2. Use a stainless steel cleaner if the oxidation does not go away.
1. Chloride containing cleansers – this includes bleach and any cleaners containing bleach
2. Muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) – commonly used to clean up after tile/concrete installation
3. Concentrated soap residue – chemical additives will cause discoloration and some dried soaps
look like rust
4. Water with high iron content – can leave a rusty residue, especially if allowed to drip
continuously
5. Contact with iron materials – including steel wool, iron residue/dust from installation or cleaning
of other steel products
6. Trapped moisture between the product and cover – rubber mats, metal cans or cleaning
products trapped moisture - allow cabinets to completely dry before covering.
7. Salts – contain chlorides
8. Extreme Heat by Flame
9. Citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surfaces.
10. Abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive cloths as they will scratch the nish.
