Maintaining Your Grills
•
Do not clean the cooking grills in a dishwashing machine.
•
Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical
cleaners to clean the cooking grills. Check the cleaner
manufacturer's recommendations prior to use.
•
To prevent rust from forming, the above seasoning or
curing process should be repeated frequently.
•
If rust does form, clean with a brass wire bristle brush
and repeat the seasoning / curing process. If your
barbecue is positioned near water or in a marine
environment, then the seasoning process may need to be
repeated even more frequently.
Precautions
Avoid scratching. Do not use cleaners
containing bleaching agents. Rinse with clean
water to remove residual cleaning compounds
and dry before covering. Only use mild
detergents on barbecue fascia.
Do not use steel wool. Stainless steel wool
may be used on stainless steel. Rub in
straight lines along the polish pattern. Avoid
scratching. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Remove burners periodically and scrub clean with soapy
water and a wire brush making sure that the ports are free of
obstructions. Replace burners in the correct position and dry
by lighting each one to avoid subsequent corrosion. Rust is
not covered by warranty.
