Rust Removal
It is a common misconception that stainless steel does not rust. It does
not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it stains less),
but it is not stain-proof. If not properly protected and maintained, it
can corrode, pit, and discolor.
Because salt will accelerate rust and corrosion, grill
owners who live near the beach need to be diligent in
maintaining their stainless steel hardware. You need to
clean and polish your stainless steel frequently, apply

a protectant, and ensure water does not collect and
puddle.
Periodically clean exterior stainless steel surfaces with WD-40 or Sheila
Shine and wipe down with a dry cloth or paper towel until surface is
free of rust. If there is significant rust or corrosion, use a Scotch-Brite
scrubber.
Both of these products will act as a surface protectant and help resist
smudges, stains, and rust.
Although nitric acid (also called aqua fortis) can be effec-

Cleaning the Interior of Your Grill
1.
Thoroughly clean stains, food, and grime using a sponge or damp
cloth with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use Fantastik or For-
mula 409 to remove heavier soil.
2.
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and dry them completely with a clean
towel. Do not allow water to accumulate and puddle on stainless
steel. Water from various sources such as garden hoses contains
iron which will give the appearance of rusting on stainless steel. If
allowed to stand for long periods of time on stainless steel, it will
cause pitting.
3.
The racks can be removed for cleaning and are dishwasher safe.
