If the appliance is located near swimming pools careful attention to cleaning is required. Pool chemicals
contain chlorides which can affect the stainless steel. This also applies to salt water pools as they contain
salt, namely sodium chloride.
The use of bleaches containing chlorine should not be used to clean the stainless-steel surfaces. If the
residues are not completed rinsed away they can cause heavy pitting of the material. Pitting corrosion
eats deep into the surface and is not easily removed. Heavy polishing is required.
Routine Care
After each use allow the appliance to cool then wipe over with a soft, damp, soapy cloth. (DO NOT USE
CLEANERS CONTAINING CHLORIDE). Finally wipe over with soft, damp cloth. Be sure to wipe off food
particles and cooking residues, some marinates and oils can be acid and therefore attack the metal
surface. Also, cooking residues that are not removed after each use bake into the surfaces during
subsequent uses and become more difficult to remove.
There are several propriety stainless steel cleaners available that can be safely used on this appliance.
Read the directions carefully before using
DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL as particles can become embedded in the surface and then rust resulting in
small brown specs on the surface. If scouring is required to remove stubborn cooking residues use a soft
nylon pad (non-abrasive).
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING COMPOUNDS, use cream type.
If the appliance is used on an irregular basis it is advised to still clean regularly and keep it covered from
the elements, either by using a purpose BBQ cover or under a covered porch. Dirt and dust contain
corrosive particles from the environment that can attack the surface. Stainless steel surfaces retain their
best resistance to corrosion when keep clean. Even if the appliance is protected with a purpose BBQ cover
check regularly, condensation underneath the cover may be corrosive due to the local environment and
cause damage to the metal surface.
After cleaning applying a thin coating of 'light oil', for example baby oil, will also help protect the
stainless-steel surface from the elements.
Stubborn Stains and Corrosion Spots
Stubborn stains, discoloration, 'Tea Staining' can occur from insufficient cleaning, excessive spillage from
cooking, severe environmental conditions and extreme cooking conditions.
There are propriety stainless steel cleaners available that are designed for such instances. Read the
instructions carefully before using.
• Always rub or wipe in the direction of the surface grain or original polish lines.
• Some stainless-steel cleaners may damage painted or plastic surfaces, read the directions carefully.
