Notes on stainless steel (risk of corrosion!)
● Please note! Even high-quality stainless steel can corrode if handled improperly. Salt, acids, chlo
rine, iodine and food residues destroy the protective coating and can result in corrosion and pit
ting, also with high-quality stainless steel!
● The stainless steel surface creates a new protective layer immediately after damage, but only if
air or oxygen-rich water has time to react with the surface.
● If residues, e.g. lime, protein or starches are not completely removed, it prevents air or oxygen-
rich water from getting to the stainless steel surface. A protective coating cannot be formed and
this causes corrosion e.g. pitting damage, even on high-quality steel. Therefore, clean thoroughly
to prevent residues from sticking.
