Using Your Power Burner; Cleaning And Maintenance - hestan AGPB24 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

USING YOUR POWER BURNER

Your Hestan Power Burner is a powerful cooking tool that complements your Hestan Grill. DO
NOT leave the Power Burner unattended while cooking.
COOKING WITH POWER BURNERS
The Hestan Power Burner features an inner "cooktop" style burner for use with smaller pots or
a wok. It has a range of 1,650 BTU on simmer, up to 20,000 BTU on high. The unique octagonal
outer burner is capable of roughly 12,000 BTU on low, up to 50,000 BTU on high. When used in
combination, you have a maximum combined output of 70,000 BTU (on NG).
Choose the appropriate pot or pan for the burner. In other words, don't put a small pot over a
large burner. For safety reasons, control the flame height so that it doesn't go beyond, or curl
up the sides of your pot or pan. This behavior results in poor heating of the contents of the pan,
burnt food on the sides of the pan, wasted fuel, etc.
WOK COOKING
Remove the center grate insert to cook with a wok. It is recommended to use a wok 14 - 20 inches
(36 - 51 cm) in diameter. Wok cooking usually requires intense heat at the center of the bowl, so
you should not use the octagonal burner when cooking with the wok. Doing so will most likely
burn your food, and possibly the handles on the wok as well.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen equipment because of its
strength, its ability to resist corrosion, and its ease of cleaning. Unfortunately, the metal is often
taken for granted and it is assumed that no problems will arise during its usage. However, some
care is required to ensure a long service life of the Power Burner.
To maintain the original appearance of your Hestan Power Burner, a regular cleaning routine
should be carried out using the following guidelines:
1. After use, following the safety precautions detailed earlier in this manual, wipe the appliance
with a soft, damp, soapy cloth and rinse with clean, warm water. This should remove most
substances encountered during the cooking process.
2. For stubborn stains, including burnt-on grease and food-borne deposits, use a multipurpose,
non-abrasive, cream cleanser and apply with a soft damp cloth. Rinse with fresh water, as
described above. On no account should steel wool pads be used unless they are made of
stainless steel.
3. Harsh abrasives and metallic scouring materials should not be used for cleaning stainless steel
as they will leave scratch marks in the surface and damage the appearance of the appliance.
Likewise, do not use wire brushes, scrapers or contaminated scouring pads.
4. For those areas with a directional grain, any cleaning with abrasives should be carried out
along this grain direction and not across it.
5. After use, always remove wet cleaning aids (such as cloths, pads, containers) from the surface,
to avoid formation of water marks or stains.
6. If required, dry the appliance after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.
If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your Hestan Power Burner should offer excellent life
and should live up to its reputation of being "stainless". Neglect of this practice, however, can
lead to deterioration of the surface and, in some extreme cases, corrosion of the steel itself. The
two most common types of corrosion that may be encountered, particularly on stainless steel, are
rust marks and pitting of the surface.
