Caring for Brass
NOTE : Before cleaning, be sure to close the gas supply and/or isolate from
the main electrical supply.
Brass Burner Caps
The brass burner caps are shiny due to the
machining process. Even though the cosmetic
look is appealing, brass is ultimately chosen
as a material for its durability and machinabil-
ity. With normal use, the brass will lose its
shine, become bronzed, and patina in appear-
ance. Over-polishing the brass caps is not
recommended because performance may be
affected and result in burner malfunction.
Simply clean with a cloth using dish soap and
water. In order to remove heavier, baked-on grease splatter, submerge the
caps with tongs into boiling white vinegar for 10-15 seconds. After, you may
polish the caps with Mother’s Mag & Aluminum Polish. Enameled steel burn-
er cap covers are available as cosmetic covers for discolored brass burners.
Brass Trim
First clean the brass using soap and
water, or glass cleaner. To remove
heavier tarnish, grease,
or other impurities, use a
metal cleaner and polish,
such as Mother’s Mag &
Aluminum Polish. When
polishing the towel bar-holders, and oven door bar-holders, you may
use masking tape to protect the surrounding enamel.
CAUTION: When caring for brass parts, do not allow any polish
or cleaners to come in contact with enameled surfaces. The
chemicals will cause permanent damage to the enameled finish.
