Cleaning And Maintenance; Stainless Steel Care And Cleaning - Cal Flame BBQ08874CP Owner's Manual

Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully.
Clean internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire
grill should be cleaned at least once a year.
In addition, keep the area around your grill clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE GRILL.
These instructions describe the best way to care for
your stainless steel. They apply to grills and barbecue
islands with stainless steel fixtures.
Although stainless steel grills will discolor and
accumulate grime with regular use, they can keep
their original shine with periodic cleaning. We strongly
recommend using a surface protectant to prevent
smudging and surface rust from accumulating.
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after
cooking is completed. Doing so will extend the life of
your grill, prevent grease fires, and present a pleasant
appearance while you grill.

Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning

Baking soda, lemon oil, olive oil, vinegar, or club
soda can also be effective for cleaning light soil on all
stainless steel surfaces.
Do not use steel wool or wire brushes to
scrub your grill.
For light soil, use a damp sponge or cloth.
For heavier stains, use a Scotch-Brite scrubber or
similar product.
1 . Clean
Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using
a sponge or damp cloth with warm water and a
mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or Formula 409 to
remove heavier soil.
2 . Rinse
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them
completely with a clean towel. Do not allow
stainless steel to air dry.
3 . Polish
We strongly recommend that you apply a surface
protectant to all exposed stainless steel surfaces.
Spray a small amount of WD-40 or Sheila Shine on a
piece of paper towel and rub with the grain over the
surface of the appliance. Using a clean terry cloth or
paper towel, polish the appliance by rubbing with the
Convection Grills

All exposed stainless steel surfaces require
special attention if you want to keep them looking
clean and bright. Following these simple instructions
will help avoid scratching or damaging the finish
and keep your stainless steel attractive.
Cleaning instructions for grill interiors, including
racks and burners, are described after this section.
