    7. If required, dry the Grill after use with a soft dry cloth or towel. If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill should offer excellent life and should live up to its reputation of being “stainless”.

  • Page 23: Grill Rack

    Bleaches: Most common domestic bleaches & sterilizing solutions contain chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlo- rite. If used in concentrated form, bleaches can attack the stainless steel, causing pitting of the surface. They should always be used to the strengths prescribed by the manufacturer and should be thoroughly rinsed off with clean water immediately after use.

  • Page 24: Orifice Cleaning

    To maintain the appearance of your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill for many years, keep it covered when not in use. Backyard environments are harsh on your grills’ finish. Long exposure to sun, water, yard chemicals and the elements will reduce the appearance of the stainless steel.
