Steel grades require a level of care and protection to retain their appearance. Stainless Steels are not
immune
to corrosion and neither are they maintenance-free, contrary to popular public perception. Even the
highest marine grades of Stainless Steel require frequent cleaning with fresh water to avoid oxidation
and other corrosive issues.
Modern tastes dictate that your BBQ features Stainless Steel with a brushed fi nish. This brushed
fi nish is attained by running Stainless Steel sheets through an abrasive process that removes the
mirror fi nish and leaves the brushed fi nish. Brushed-fi nish Stainless Steel requires frequent cleaning
and care, to maintain its quality of appearance. Without adequate care it is realistic to expect that it
will show signs of corrosion in time.
Stainless Steel is defi nitely not a maintenance-free material. Cleanliness and Stainless Steel are
closely related.
After assembly, we recommend that owners apply a thin layer of Olive Oil with a clean rag, to all
exposed Stainless Steel areas. This should then be polished in and buffed off with another clean rag
to a non-oily fi nish. This process will aid protection against dirt and other corrosive contaminants, by
providing a temporary food-safe shield. The Olive Oil layer also makes later polishing and removal of
fi ngerprints easier.
This process should be repeated frequently when cleaning your grill.
You may have bought a protective cover for your BBQ. It is recommended that a BBQ cover should
be used at all times when the BBQ is not in use to protect your investment. However it is vital to
understand that unless the BBQ is cool, clean and dry when the cover is fi tted, use of a cover can in
fact be detrimental. A cover placed on a warm, wet or unclean BBQ (or any mix of these factors) can
in fact be a very effective corrosion breeder!
For this reason, the BBQ should always be cool, cleaned of any surface contaminants or dirt and be
thoroughly dry before a protective cover is fi tted. This is especially important before a BBQ is stored
for any length of time i.e. if the BBQ doesn’t get frequent use, or when the BBQ is stored away over
winter months.
In order to maintain the quality of the fi nish of your Stainless Steel BBQ, the owner must be vigilant
with care and maintenance according to this advice.
Look after your investment carefully and it will serve you well for many years to come.
