MAINTENANCE (continued)
AS NEEDED:
(Frequency will depend on usage and local health department’s requirements):
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES:
Use non-abrasive cleaning products for use on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents must be chloride-free
compounds and must not contain quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless
steel surfaces. Always use the proper cleaning agent at the manufacturer’s recommended strength.
EXTERIOR:
Southern Pride BBQ Smokers are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the
finest grade of type 304 stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship.
All of the exterior of the smoker can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.
Before cleaning the smoker, make sure it is turned off, and power is turned off to the smoker at the electri-
cal panel.
If the smoker is HOT from use, allow adequate time for it to cool down (approximately 1 hour).
After the smoker exterior has been washed, apply a stainless steel polish cleaner to all surfaces.
Wipe control panel, door handles, and door gaskets thoroughly, since these areas harbor food debris.
Do not use scotch bright pads or scouring pads to clean the outside of your smoker. If a non-
abrasive scouring pad must be used, make certain to scrub with the visible grain of the surface metal
to avoid scratches.
CAUTION
Some cleaning products are not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read the label
before
use.
