• Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply
a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surface
to prevent rusting. Do not coat charcoal grates or charcoal ash tray.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your grill, clean and buff the
affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a
good quality high-temperature resistant paint.

surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or
vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.
