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.
Important
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.
Caution
Burner rack
The burner rack can all be removed for cleaning and is dishwasher
safe.
Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water just as you would
for any cooking equipment. A stiff wire brush or steel wool may also be
helpful in removing grime and food deposits.

Covering Your Side Burner

When not in use and after cooling, cover your side burner with our
canvas cover. (See your local Cal Flame dealer for details.) The cover
will help protect your side burner from detrimental effects of weather
and environmental pollutants. Never put a cover on a hot side burner.
Allow the side burner to cool before covering.

Because salt will accelerate rust and corrosion, side
burner owners who live near the beach need to be dili-
gent 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.
Although nitric acid (also called aqua fortis) can be effec-
tive for rust removal, it is a highly corrosive chemical. Be-
cause of the potential for injury or damage to your stain-
less steel, we do not recommend using nitric acid.
