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 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.
Cleaning and Maintenance
These instructions describe the best way to care for
your stainless steel. They apply to grills 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.
For light soil, use a damp sponge or cloth.
For heavier stains, use a Scotch-Brite scrubber or
similar product.
Clean
1 .
Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using
a sponge or damp cloth with warm water and a
mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or Formula 409 to
remove heavier soil.
Rinse
2 .
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them
completely with a clean towel. Do not allow
stainless steel to air dry.
Polish
3 .
We strongly recommend that you apply a surface
protectant to all exposed stainless steel surfaces.
Spray a small amount of WD-40 or Sheila Shine on a
piece of paper towel and rub with the grain over the
surface of the appliance. Using a clean terry cloth or
paper towel, polish the appliance by rubbing with the
grain until excess liquid is removed and the surface
shines. It should not be oily to the touch, however
some residue is acceptable.
Furniture polish, such as Old English, can be effective
for polishing stainless steel and protecting the
surface.
Caution
!
Do not use Instant Rust Out, WD-40,
or Sheila Shine near food or on food
preparation surfaces as it is a health hazard.
This includes the interior of the grill, grill
racks, stainless steel sinks, the inside of
cabinets, warming drawers, and ovens.
Fire
Hazard
!
NEVER spray WD-40 or Sheila Shine
near an open flame! These products
are extremely flammable while in their
aerosol forms.
Rust Removal
It is a common misconception that stainless steel does
not rust. It does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily
as ordinary steel (it
stains less
), but it is not stain-
proof. If not properly protected and maintained, it can
corrode, pit, and discolor.
!
Important
Because salt will accelerate rust and
corrosion, grill or barbecue island
owners who live near the beach need to
be diligent in maintaining their stainless
steel hardware. You need to clean and
polish your stainless steel frequently,
apply a protectant, and ensure water
does not collect and puddle.
