Cleaning the Stainless Steel and Polishing
1.
Allow grill to cool before cleaning/polishing stainless steel. Do not clean or polish your grill’s stainless steel
when the gill is in operation or still hot.
2.
To clean the stainless steel, wash off all dirt and debris from the steel with warm water. If you have tough
spots to clean, then a third-party degreaser product can be used.
3.
Next, rinse and dry the steel thoroughly with a clean towel. Do not allow the steel to air dry as the standing
water can cause surface discoloration.
4.
The last step is to protect to the unit with a good third-party polish. There are several third-party polishes on
the market that will help keep your grill protected from the elements for a longer period of time. Most of
these polishes are toxic, so only use these on the exterior of the grill. Follow instructions provided on any
third-party polish products. Do not use such products on cooking grates or heat control grids.
a.
Apply the polish to a clean paper towel and wipe with the direction of the grain in the stainless
steel.
b.
There should be no excess liquid on the surface but it is acceptable for it to be a little oily, as that
will dissipate.
5.
If your grill has developed surface discoloration or surface rust, clean the unit as stated above and use a
good third-party polish to remove or reduce the spots. Follow instructions provided on any third-party
polish products. Coyote does not insure or guarantee the performance of or results from such products.
Environmental Factors that can affect your Grill
There are several typical causes for surface discoloration and corrosion on your stainless steel outdoor
equipment:
1.
Mortar (which contains lime) from the island assembly process has rested on the unit for a prolonged period
of time and the unit was not cleaned quickly.
2.
Pool chemicals were splashed onto the grill (chlorine and acid will cause problems quickly) and the unit was
not cleaned off promptly.
3.
Hard water from sprinklers (chlorine in the water) was allowed to sit on the unit.
4.
Salt from the ocean air/water was allowed to rest upon the grill for a prolonged period of time before being
cleaned (beach owners must be diligent in maintaining their outdoor stainless equipment).
5.
Dust, or rust, from other metals found its way onto the grill and was left on for an extended period of time.
6.
Organic matters (such as certain types of food) might have gotten onto the surface of the grill and it was
then covered. With high humidity and low oxygen, corrosion will start to take place.
7.
Sprays and cleaning solutions containing alkaline, lime, acid, salt, etc. might have been left on the grill
surface un-dried.
8.
Failure to clean or polish your grill in accordance with the instructions above
Ways to Avoid Rust on your Grill:
1.
Purchase a Coyote Grill cover for your unit. This will ensure that your cover is a correct fit and breathable,
while providing the protection needed to keep contaminants off of the surface.
2.
When installing the unit, make sure to keep the unit covered when any masonry work is being performed. If
any mortar or dust does come into contact with the stainless, make sure to wipe it off as soon as possible
and use a stainless steel polish immediately afterward.
3.
Position your grill away from areas that can receive water splash from a pool or hot tub.
4.
Do not store pool chemicals in your island or island cabinets.
