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.
Clean
1 .
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.
Rinse
2 .
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them
completely with a clean towel. Do not allow
stainless steel to air dry.
Polish

We strongly recommend that you apply a surface
protectant to all exposed stainless steel surfaces.
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
Caution
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 ovens.
Fire
Hazard
NEVER spray WD-40 or Sheila Shine
near an open flame! These products
are extremely flammable while in their
aerosol forms.
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
grain until excess liquid is removed and the surface
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.
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 stain-
proof. If not properly protected and maintained, it can
corrode, pit, and discolor.
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.
Rust removal with WD-40 or Sheila Shine:
2 .
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 significant
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.
Important
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.
Caution
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
stainless steel, we do not recommend
using nitric acid.
