amount of effort required to maintain the stainless steel. For best results and longevity, routinely have a
professional barbecue cleaning company detail the burner unit. After each use wipe down the exterior of
the burner unit to remove grease and splatters.
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 burner unit may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, which is
normal and cannot be cleaned off. For light and heavy food stains, use the products and processes
described above
Corrosive Environmental Conditions
The #304 stainless steel materials used in the construction of your burner unit are rust and corrosion
resistant
, not rust and corrosion
proof
. If neglected and left on the burner unit, corrosive elements (such as
chlorine in the air, high salt content air, 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 burner unit’s stainless steel with a damp cloth or non-abrasive micro-fiber
towel
•
Allow the surfaces to dry before covering the burner unit. Do not cover a damp burner unit
•
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 burner unit is
dry, cover and secure the burner unit to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces
Clean the Double Burner Exterior
Routinely wash with warm soapy water and apply a good stainless steel polish to protect the burner unit
exterior. Keep the burner unit covered when not in use.
Clean the Drip Tray
The drip tray should be emptied and cleaned after each use. Failure to do so could result in a fire. When the
burner unit has cooled, remove the drip tray by pulling it straight out from the burner unit.
NOTE
: If you’ve done extensive cooking and cleaned the burner unit, the drip tray may be close to
full. Take care when removing and carrying it to avoid spills.
Empty the drip tray into an appropriate location or container. Clean the drip tray with a clean cloth and hot
soapy water, or an oven-style cleaning product. Dry the tray and replace, ensuring it is completely installed
in the burner unit housing.
