Cleaning and Maintenance
To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully.
Clean internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire
grill should be cleaned at least once a year.
In addition, keep the area around your grill clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
ammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE GRILL.
Cleaning and Maintenance
These instructions describe the best way to care for
your stainless steel. They apply to grills and barbecue
islands with stainless steel xtures.
Although stainless steel grills will discolor and
accumulate grime with regular use, they can keep
their original shine with periodic cleaning. We strongly
recommend using a surface protectant to prevent
smudging and surface rust from accumulating.
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after
cooking is completed. Doing so will extend the life of
your grill, prevent grease res, and present a pleasant
appearance while you grill.
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
All exposed stainless steel surfaces require special
attention if you want to keep them looking clean and
bright. Following these simple instructions will help
avoid scratching or damaging the nish and keep your
stainless steel attractive.
Cleaning instructions for grill interiors, including racks
and burners, are described after this section.
Clean1.
Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using
a sponge or damp cloth with warm water and a
mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or Formula 409 to
remove heavier soil.
Rinse2.
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them
completely with a clean towel. Do not allow
stainless steel to air dry.
Polish3.
We strongly recommend that you apply a surface
protectant to all exposed stainless steel surfaces.
Spray a small amount of WD-40 or Sheila Shine on a
piece of paper towel and rub with the grain over the
surface of the appliance. Using a clean terry cloth or
paper towel, polish the appliance by rubbing with the

We have had best success with Instant Rust Out,
but WD-40 works very well too. Instant Rust Out is
available in some hardware stores. WD-40 is widely
available.
Baking soda, lemon oil, olive oil, vinegar, or club
soda can also be effective for cleaning light soil on
all stainless steel surfaces.
Do not use steel wool or wire brushes to
scrub your grill.
For light soil, use a damp sponge or cloth.
For heavier stains, use a Scotch-Brite scrubber or
similar product.

shines. It should not be oily to the touch, however
some residue is acceptable.
Furniture polish, such as Old English, can be effective
for polishing stainless steel and protecting the
surface.
Do not use Instant Rust Out, WD-40,
or Sheila Shine near food or on food
preparation surfaces as it is a health
hazard. This includes the interior of the

grill, grill racks, stainless steel sinks, the
inside of cabinets, warming drawers, and

Rust Removal
It is a common misconception that stainless steel does
not rust. It does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily
as ordinary steel (it stains less), but it is not stainproof. If not properly protected and maintained, it can
corrode, pit, and discolor.
Important
There are two methods of rust removal we
recommend:
Rust removal with Instant Rust Out:
1.
Spray exterior stainless steel surfaces with Instant
Rust Out. Let it stand for about 30 seconds, then wipe
with a clean cloth. Apply a second time if necessary.
Instant Rust Out will leave a white residue which can
be rinsed off with water. Wipe the grill dry with a clean
cloth and apply Sheila Shine or WD-40 as a surface
protectant.
are extremely ammable while in their
aerosol forms.
Because salt will accelerate rust and
corrosion, grill or barbecue island
owners who live near the beach need to
be diligent in maintaining their stainless
steel hardware. You need to clean and
polish your stainless steel frequently,
apply a protectant, and ensure water
does not collect and puddle.
2.
Rust removal with WD-40 or Sheila Shine:
Spray exterior stainless steel surfaces with WD-40 or
Sheila Shine and wipe down with a dry cloth or paper
towel until surface is free of rust. If there is signicant
rust or corrosion, use a Scotch-Brite scrubber.
Both of these products will act as a surface protectant
and help resist smudges, stains, and rust.
Although nitric acid (also called aqua
fortis) can be effective for rust removal, it
is a highly corrosive chemical. Because of
the potential for injury or damage to your
Caution
stainless steel, we do not recommend
using nitric acid.
Cleaning the Interior of Your Grill
Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using 1.
a sponge or damp cloth with warm water and a
mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or Formula 409 to
remove heavier soil.
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them 2.
completely with a clean towel. Do not allow water
to accumulate and puddle on stainless steel.
Water from various sources such as garden hoses
contains iron which will give the appearance of
rusting on stainless steel. If allowed to stand for
long periods of time on stainless steel, it will cause
pitting.
The racks, ame tamers, and avor bars can all be 3.
removed for cleaning and are dishwasher safe.
Burners
Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make
nests in the burner tubes, obstructing the gas ow.
Sometimes this results in a type of re in and around
the gas tubes called “ashback”. To reduce the risk of
ashback, this procedure should be followed at least
once a month or when your grill has not been used for
an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: Prior to starting this procedure, turn OFF
all of the gas control knobs, shut off the fuel supply,
and disconnect the fuel line.
