Cleaning Stainless Steel - RUSTA PAMPAS Manual

• When the barbecue is not in use, protect it from rain and contaminants under
a barbecue cover. This prevents surface rust and stops it from getting dirty.
• For long-term storage, such as during the winter, first clean and wipe the barbecue
carefully and then store it under a barbecue cover in a dry, dust-free environment.
CLEANING THE BARBECUE GRILLE
• Do not use sharp objects to clean the barbecue grille. They may damage the surface.
• It is not necessary to clean the barbecue grille after each use. Only remove residues
with a brush and then wipe with a paper towel.
• However, the barbecue grille should occasionally be cleaned more thoroughly. Wash
with a mild detergent and water. Rinse with clean water and let it dry.
• Before barbecuing, oil the grille with a little cooking oil to avoid food sticking to it.
CLEANING THE BARBECUE
• Remove the barbecue grille and charcoal grille.
• Remove the ash.
• Wash the barbecue with a mild detergent and water. Rinse with clean water and let it dry.
• If the painted steel is scratched or damaged and has started to rust, brush the
surface with a steel brush, scrape it and then paint with anti-rust primer. This should
be done as soon as the damage is discovered, as scratches in the paint make the
barbecue more susceptible to rust.
INFORMATION ON STAINLESS STEEL
A common misconception about stainless steel is that it cannot oxidise, which is
inaccurate. All steel can oxidise if the conditions for oxidation are right. Stainless steel,
on the other hand, has a higher resistance against oxidisation than non-stainless steel.
This means that even stainless steel must be maintained to prevent oxidation and other
corrosion. It is normal for the barbecue to suffer from so-called red oxide if it is not
maintained properly. This is normal and is not grounds for complaint.

CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL

• Start by wiping the surface with a damp cloth and a mild soap. The surface must be
clean and free of dirt and grease. Wipe with a dry cloth.
• If the barbecue has any surface rust, you can use a light polish, Autosol, on a cloth
and polish the surface until the rust disappears. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• To protect the surface, spray on a thin layer of 5-56 or WD-40, two universal agents
that dissolve red oxide and protect against moisture. Apply the product with a cloth
so that you have an even coat.
• NOTE! These products must not come into contact with the barbecue's painted
surfaces or surfaces that come into contact with food.
