Also, do not allow any food particles or grease to be left inside your barbecue, as this will attract 
rodents  which, in addition to being undesirable from an hygienic standpoint, are  likely to cause 
physical damage to your oven. 
Rodents  are  known  to  chew  on  the  insulation  of  wiring  which  will  eventually  cause  permanent 
damage to the wiring and possibly electrical components.  
One final consideration for ovens located either along the coast or in a desert community:  Wind 
driven sand is highly abrasive, therefore constant exposure will eventually pit and scratch almost 

anything; one more reason to keep your oven covered when not in use.  By routinely caring for 

your  oven  as  outlined  in  this  manual,  you  can  enjoy  many  years  of  service  from  it  and  keep  it 
looking the way it should. 
In the event that any light rusting is found on the stainless steel, it will usually not be the stain-
less steel which is corroding but iron particles which have somehow been deposited on the sur-
face. For more information on this subject, please request our “Rust removal bulletin”. As a first 
course  of action  though,  we recommend “Bar Keepers Friend”, available from many supermar-
kets and hardware stores. This product, if used as directed, will usually solve the problem. Note 
though, when using this product on textured surfaces such as your oven, always rub in the direc-

tion of the grain; never across the grain, since doing so will damage the finish.
