CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
(continued)
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Always keep the area around the grill and side burner free of obstructions and debris. Maintain at least
12” (30 cm) of space around the grill and side burner to ensure proper airflow, and keep all ventilation
openings clear and free of debris. Clean appliance after each use, and check for blockages, especially at the
burner orifices, after periods of prolonged non-use. To maintain the appearance of your Aspire side burner
for many years, keep it covered when not in use. Backyard environments are harsh on your appliance’s
finish. Long exposure to sun, water, yard chemicals and the elements could diminish the appearance of the
stainless steel. This is very evident in ocean-front locations.
Our appliance materials have been tested in saline solutions with higher salinity than seawater. They have
also been tested by exposure to highly acidic foods. During and after these tests, we found these materials
were able to withstand exposure over prolonged periods of time. However, the above-mentioned corrosive
substances, along with neglect, can lead to a situation whereby conditions might combine to cause some
damage to occur. Therefore, we suggest that you always keep your grill and side burner clean, dry and
covered when not in use. This is even more important when long term storage is required. Always store
the grill and side burner clean, dry and covered with your Aspire Grill and Side Burner Cover. A dirty
grill and side burner will attract insects and rodents which is highly unsanitary. In addition, rodents are
known to chew on the insulation of wiring which will cause permanent damage to the wiring and possibly
electrical components.
For those in desert communities, wind-driven sand is highly abrasive and constant exposure will eventually
pit and scratch the surface. Another reason to keep your grill and side burner covered when not in use.
