We recommend these products for cleaning your
stainless steel:
Mild dish detergent such as Dawn •
Formula 409 •
Fantastik •
Sheila Shine (exterior ONLY) •
WD-40 (exterior ONLY) •
We have had best success with Sheila Shine,
but WD-40 works very well too. Sheila Shine is
available in some hardware stores; WD-40 is widely
available.
Some people have reported that using baking soda,
lemon oil, olive oil, vinegar, or club soda can be
effective for cleaning light soil on all stainless steel
surfaces.
Do not use steel wool or wire brushes to scrub your
grill. For light soil, use a damp sponge or cloth.
For heavier stains, use a Scotch-Brite scrubber or
similar product.
To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully.
Clean internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire
grill should be cleaned at least once a year.
In addition, keep the area around your grill or cart clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE GRILL.
These instructions describe the best way to care for
your stainless steel. They apply to grills, carts, and
barbecue islands with stainless steel fixtures.
Although stainless steel grills will discolor and
accumulate grime with regular use, they can keep
their original shine with periodic cleaning. We strongly
recommend using a surface protectant to prevent
smudging and surface rust from accumulating.
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after
cooking is completed. Doing so will extend the life of
your grill, prevent grease fires, and present a pleasant
appearance while you grill.
Stainless Steel Care and
Cleaning
All exposed stainless steel surfaces require special
attention if you want to keep them looking clean and
bright. Following these simple instructions will help
avoid scratching or damaging the finish and keep your
stainless steel attractive.
Cleaning instructions for grill interiors, including racks
and burners, are described after this section.
