and non-stick layer) could be damaged or destroyed.

Before the first use

Clean your Burger, Sandwich or Waffle Iron thoroughly with hot water and dry well. Thanks to the pre-
treated surface (seasoned finish) you can use the robust Petromax Irons straight away after rinsing.
Seasoning is not necessary. Do not use dishwashing detergent for cleaning, otherwise the valuable
patina might be damaged. As care for your Irons we recommend the Petromax Care Conditioner for
Cast and Wrought Iron.

Cleaning, Care and Storage

If you care for your Petromax Iron correctly, it will last for generations. For that reason you should
observe some important basic rules:
• Let your Irons cool down completely after use and clean with warm water.
• Do not use dishwashing detergent or soap to clean the Irons, otherwise the patina could be damaged
or destroyed.
• Use a commercially available dishwashing brush or sponge (no metal sponge!) to clean the Irons.
For stubborn or burnt food residues we recommend the Petromax Chain Mail Cleaner for cast and
wrought iron, as it does not damage the patina even when scrubbing firmly.
• The Irons are not suitable to be cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Do not clean hot Irons with cold water. The tensions created might crack or otherwise damage the
cast iron.
• Always dry well and apply a thin layer of Petromax Care Conditioner for Cast and Wrought Iron
before stowing.
• Alternatively, you may also use a neutral cooking oil or vegetable fat for care. Do not use olive oil as
it cannot be heated as strongly as other fats.
• After cleaning leave your Iron lie open for some time so that joints and edges can dry properly.
• Store your Irons at a dry place. By means of a piece of cardboard, firm paper or wood between the
two cast-iron halves you ensure for additional ventilation.
• Do not stow when wet and untreated.
