CARE AND MAINTENANCE__________________________________________________

Cure your grill periodically throughout the year to protect against excessive rust.
•
To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be properly cured and covered at all times when
•
not in use.
Wash cooking grate and charcoal rack with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat grate with
•
vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
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 rack.
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.
Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, and
•
then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.
