Cleaning The Stainless Steel - Prime Grill 3R12 Owner's Instruction Manual

Using Your BBQ
If desired, when completely cool, remove the
grill racks for thorough cleaning. Use soap and
water for this cleaning. Specks of grease can
either gather on the surface of the stainless steel
and bake onto the surface rack and give the
appearance of rust. For removal, use an abrasive
pad (like Scotch Brite) in conjunction with a
stainless steel cleaner. This need to be done in
extreme cases only, or before storing the grill for
an extended period.
Cleaning the Enameled
Cast Iron Hot Plate
Clean enameled cast iron surfaces before you use
them for the fist time with warm soapy water.
Use a sponge soaked in soapy water or a
degreasing product applied with a soft cloth.
Never use any abrasives and avoid excessive or
harsh rubbing when cleaning which can leave
permanent marks on the enamel.
cautiOn: Do NOT allow any metal, cast iron,
or brass polish/cleaners (Brasso, Copper Brite,
Flitz, etc.) to come in contact with any enameled
surfaces. The chemicals will cause permanent
damage to the enameled finish.
Useful hint: 'Seasoning' the enameled
cast iron hot plate before using it and
keeping it 'seasoned' will protect it
against oxidation (rust). 'Seasoning' is
just using a paper towel/cloth and coating
the cast iron with high-temperature oil/
fat (coconut oil) when it is warm and
letting it dry. After each use, and while
the plate is still warm, clean it off with a
cleaning pad (Scotch Brite, for example)
and a damp cloth.

Use of steel wool is not recommended because
if there is any metal residue left behind it will
promote oxidation. Removing spills immediately
will make cleaning easier.
Drying the surface after cleaning and keeping the
surface free of moisture will prevent oxidation
(rust). If the cast iron is heavily soiled, use a non-
metallic scouring pad or stiff bristle nylon brush to
clean. After any heavy cleaning it is recommended
that you 'season' the grill again (as you did before
you used it the first time) to replace the high-
temperature oil/fat and prevent oxidation. If you
ever need to remove heavy oxidation, rust or
other marks you can sand the surface with an
emery cloth.
Cleaning Drip Tray
The full width drip pan with grease tray will collect
grease from the grill section and any spills from
the burners. Allow the pan and its contents to cool
before attempting to clean. Clean grease from the
tray often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.

Cleaning the Stainless Steel

All stainless steel parts should be cleaned regularly
with hot, soapy water or any other non-abrasive
detergent at the end of each cooling period. Wipe
up any spills immediately.
When soapy water will not do the job, special-
purpose products made just for stainless steel
can be purchased at your local hardware store or
kitchen store. Do not use steel wool pads, abrasive
cloths, abrasive cleaners or powders to clean. Do
not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal
tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches are almost
impossible to remove.
Do not permit citrus or tomato juice or forms of
brine (concentrations of salt, sauerkraut, etc.) to
remain on the stainless steel surface, as citric acid
or anything acidic will cause corrosion (pitting)
and permanently discolor stainless steel.
