of time and the unit was not cleaned quickly.
2)
Pool chemicals were splashed onto the side burner (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 side burner 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 side burner 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 side burner 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 side burner
surface un-dried.
8)
Failure to clean or polish your side burner in accordance with the instructions above
Ways to Avoid Rust on your Side burner:
1)
Purchase a Coyote Side burner 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 side burner 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.
How to Remove Scratches from your Stainless Steel:
If your situation is a little more serious and you have obtained scratches in your equipment, then you will need to
purchase a third-party stainless steel scratch kit. These kits are popular in retail stores but can be easier to
obtain online. With these kits, you will not polish the unit until you are done re-scratching the entire product
you are working on. With a scratch kit, the goal is to literally re-scratch the entire surface, so that the original
grains are replaced by your new scratched-in grains. With this practice, you must be willing to treat the entire
surface or you will notice a start and stop point. Also, be careful to pay attention to your rolled or finished edges
as these scratch kits will ruin this finish. After you have used the kit, you will want to follow it up with a good
stainless polish (as mentioned prior) and then a dry towel for a final wipe down. Follow all directions on any
third-party stainless steel scratch kits. Coyote does not insure or guarantee the performance of or results from
such products.
ANNUAL CLEANING OF BURNER HOUSING

and warm water solution. Wash thoroughly and let dry.
5. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check orifices for obstruction.
