CARE OF ANODIZED ALUMINUM
(SC-7 & SC-11)
The well in your Wells Warmer or Soup Cooker is constructed of high quality anodized aluminum. As long as the anodized surface layer is intact, the equipment will not corrode.
The anodized surface can be damaged by mechanical abrasion, hard water deposits and chlorine:
1.NEVER use steel wool, wire brushes or metal scrapers to clean the warmer. These will damages the anodized surface of the well. Metal scrub pads SHOULD NOT be used on anodized aluminum.
2.Hard water deposits left behind when water is evaporated will attack the anodized surface and allow the well to corrode.
3.Chlorides from chlorinated cleansers, calcium/lime/rust removes (e.g. muriatic acid), even heavily chlorinated city water will attack the anodized surface and allow the well to corrode.
4.DO NOT use any highly caustic cleaners on the warmers. Use of highly caustic cleaners will attack the anodized surface and allow the well to corrode.
5.LIMIT USE of strong caustic cleaners on warmers. Rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water solution to neutralize any residue. Failure to do so may cause damage to the anodized surface and allow the well to corrode.
6.Cleansers containing ammonia will attack the anodized surface and allow the well to corrode.
Use the proper tool in the proper way to clean you Wells warmer:
1.Soft cloth and plastic scouring pads are safe to use on anodized aluminum. Scrub only in the direction of the grain lines.
2.Do not use a circular motion.
Use only
1.DO NOT use any cleanser listed as “chlorinated”.
2.DO NOT use any cleanser listing “ammonia” or “ammonium” in its contents.
3.Contact your cleaning materials supplier for cleansers suitable for aluminum.
Keep you Wells warmer clean. Clean frequently to avoid
1.Rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water solution to neutralize any residue.
2.For discoloration caused by using the warmer in DRY operation, use a cleaner made specifically for anodized aluminum.
3.Wipe dry with a soft, clean dry cloth.
4.Restore the surface by using a polishing product specifically made for aluminum after each cleaning.
