3. Setup

The Outset 76621 Cleaning Brush requires no assembly. Simply remove it from its packaging. Inspect the bristles and scraper for any damage before first use.

4. Operating Instructions

This brush is designed for use on cooled surfaces. Always allow your cooking surfaces to cool completely before cleaning to prevent injury and potential damage to the brush or cookware.

4.1. Cleaning Himalayan Salt Blocks and Pizza Stones

1. Ensure the salt block or pizza stone is completely cool.
2. For general residue, use the nylon bristles to gently scrub the surface. Apply moderate pressure as needed.
3. For stubborn, baked-on food, use the stainless steel scraper. Position the scraper at a low angle and carefully push away the residue. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the cooking surface.
4. Rinse the surface with water and wipe clean. Avoid using soap on salt blocks and pizza stones as they can absorb it.

4.2. Cleaning Cast Iron Pans

1. Allow the cast iron pan to cool sufficiently to handle, but it can still be warm.
2. Use the nylon bristles to scrub away food particles. For tougher spots, the stainless steel scraper can be used with care.
3. For heavily soiled pans, a small amount of baking soda can be used with the brush for added abrasive power.
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Avoid harsh soaps that can strip the seasoning from cast iron.
5. After cleaning, dry the cast iron pan immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust. Consider applying a thin layer of cooking oil to re-season.

5. Maintenance

To maintain your Outset 76621 Cleaning Brush:

• After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly under running water to remove any food particles.
• Hand wash the brush with mild soap if necessary, then rinse completely.
• Allow the brush to air dry completely before storing.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. Brush Not Cleaning Effectively

• Increase Pressure: Apply more firm pressure while scrubbing with the nylon bristles.
• Utilize Scraper: For very stubborn or burnt-on residue, use the stainless steel scraper.
• Add Abrasive: For cast iron, a small amount of baking soda can enhance cleaning power. For salt blocks and pizza stones, ensure they are completely dry before attempting to scrape off hardened residue.

6.2. Scratches on Cookware

• The nylon bristles are designed to be gentle. If scratches occur, ensure you are not applying excessive force, especially with the stainless steel scraper on softer surfaces like some pizza stones.
• Always use the scraper at a low angle and with controlled pressure.
