Cleaning Interior of Grill
After the grill has cooled enough wipe out the interior of the body to remove
all the grease. Use a paper towel or rag to gently wipe out all the food
debris. DO NOT use an abrasive pad or cleaner. The heat from the grill
should burn off any food residue on the cooking surface but make sure to
clean off the grills after every use. Any food debris left over can char and
cause poor flavors to transfer to fresh food. It can also create a dangerous
potential flare up. Always empty the drip tray after each use.
Cleaning the Grill Lid
Smoke will accumulate inside the grill lid and may create a carbon build up
which can flake onto your food. Clean the inside of the lid with a mild scrub
brush/pad. If you use a cleaning solution make sure to wipe all residues
away before turning on the grill.
Maintaining the Grill Exterior
Your grill will discolor over time due to heat. This is something that can not
be avoided and there is no cleaner that can restore the finish. If you use an
abrasive pad to "shine" the outer shell you risk scratching the grained finish.
To keep your grill looking its best for as long as possible follow these steps;
1) If your grill is kept outside, make sure when it is not in use to cover it
with a Dickinson Marine BBQ cover
2) Always wipe the outside of the grill to keep free of grease and dirt
3) Do not lean BBQ tools against the grill as this can scratch the surface
4) Do not overheat your grill as this can cause premature discoloration
Rust – Contrary to popular belief, stainless steel can be subject to rust if not
properly cared for. Make sure to keep all surfaces clean and to minimize the
amount of time spent in the open close to salt water.
