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

Important 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- tive for rust removal, it is a highly corrosive chemical. Be- cause of the potential for injury or damage to your stain-

Caution less steel, we do not recommend using nitric acid.

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.
