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, flame tamers, and flavor 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 flow.
Sometimes this results in a type of fire in and around
the gas tubes called “flashback”. To reduce the risk of
flashback, this procedure should be followed at least
once a month or when your grill has not been used for
an extended period of time.
!
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.
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.

We have had best success with Instant Rust Out,

available in some hardware stores. WD-40 is widely

all stainless steel surfaces.
