Cleaning and Maintenance WD-42 Operator Manual
Routinely wipe down the exterior and interior of the appliance to remove grease and splatters. Use a good
stainless steel cleaner to clean and polish the exterior surfaces. Doing so on a regular basis minimizes the
amount of effort required to maintain the stainless steel. DO NOT clean the appliance while it is still hot !
To remove stubborn stains:
• DO NOT use metallic abrasives
• Use a good stainless-steel cleaner and non-abrasive microfiber towel or pad
• Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel’s grain
•
Read the product’s label before using; some household cleaning products are not suitable for use on
stainless steel
•
Always start with the mildest cleaning solution first, rubbing in the direction of the grain
•
Grease specks may gather in stainless steel’s grain and bake onto the surface, giving the appearance
of rust
• Some areas of the appliance may discolor from the intense heat given off by the heating element,
which is normal and cannot be cleaned off. For light and heavy food stains, use the products and
processes described above
Corrosive Environmental Conditions
Cover your Paradise Grills product when not in use. The #304 stainless steel materials used in the
construction of your appliance are rust and corrosion
resistant
, not rust and corrosion
proof
. If neglected
and left on the appliance, corrosive elements (such as chlorine in the air, high salt content air, blowing sand,
fertilizers, pesticides, corrosive cleaning solutions, and masonry dust and debris) may cause the stainless
steel to develop surface oxidation, rust, corrosion, and pitting. To minimize such issues:
•
Regularly wipe down the appliance’s stainless steel with a damp cloth or non-abrasive micro-fiber
towel
•
Allow the surfaces to dry before covering the appliance. Do not cover a damp appliance
•
Apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the stainless steel
•
For seasonal storage, use the process and products referred to above, and once the appliance is dry,
cover and secure the appliance to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces
Appliance Interior
If surface corrosion has developed on the stainless steel, it is typically not the stainless steel that is
corroding, but corrosive particles that have been deposited on the surface.
Ensure food particles and grease are removed from the drawers. These can attract rodents, which are
unsanitary and are likely to cause physical damage by chewing on the wiring, which can cause permanent
damage to the electrical components.
Specks of grease on the surface of the stainless steel may get baked-on. These can be removed using a mild
abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always scrub in the direction of the
grain. Do not use steel wool to clean any surfaces on the Warming Drawers.
