Care of Your Fire Magic Barbecue

CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS

Your Barbecue may have a stainless steel oven and front panel. The following care instructions will keep your unit looking and working like new. Stainless steel components are constructed of the finest prime grade type 304 stainless steel. Meticulous attention has been given to maintain the attractive finish throughout the manufacturing process. Like the stainless steel used in commercial kitchens, your Barbecue requires regular cleaning and occasional buffing to maintain its bright, clean appearance.

WIPE WITH GRAIN

Figure 15 - Always rub with the grain

Deposits of dirt and grease can be removed easily with Fire Magic Foaming Barbecue and Grill Cleaner*. Deposits should be removed before they are allowed to bake onto the finish. To remove more stubborn deposits, use a scouring pad recommended for stainless steel. Be sure to always rub in the direction of the polishing lines (Figure 15). Oven cleaner may be used, according to manufacture's instructions, to remove cooked-on food deposits. Special cleaning agents and polishing pads recommended for stainless steel are available at your local Barbecue dealer, hardware store or supermarket.

CAUTION: Never use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes on stainless steel. Tiny particles left behind may rust and stain the finish. Abrasive pads recommended for restoring the grain in stainless steel will, over a period of time, scratch or dull the surface of glass or porcelain-coated products.

BURNERMAINTENANCE

Fire Magic Burners are constructed of heavy-duty cast stainless steel and have a lifetime warranty (cast brass and porcelainized cast iron Burners are also available). Once a year inspect the Burners to insure that the ports are clear of debris.

COOKING GRIDS

Fire Magic Cooking Grids come in two types: Stainless Steel and Porcelain-Finished Cast-Iron Grids. Both are finished with a special matte (satin) finish. This matte-finish provides a more stick-resistant cooking surface that makes outdoor barbecuing easy and enjoyable. The Stainless Steel Cooking Grids are made of type 304 stainless steel, and the coating on the Porcelain-Finished Grids provides a cooking surface that resists corrosion and increases cooking grid durability, providing years of cooking enjoyment. For best cooking performance, the wide side of the grid bars should face up. Follow the simple steps of Care and Maintenance after every use.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE (Stainless Steel Grids)

To maintain your Stainless Steel Cooking Grids, we recommend lightly brushing the grids after use with a brass or stainless steel wire brush. Before use, brush again if necessary and spray a light coat of vegetable oil over the cooking surface. Discoloration or stubborn food particles can be removed with a heavy-duty abrasive or stainless steel scouring pad. Grills can also be washed in an automatic dishwasher or cleaned with strong cleaning solutions, including oven cleansers. We do not recommend ordinary steel or wire brushes, which may leave tiny metal particles on the grids which cause discoloration, but not permanent damage.

(Porcelain Coated)

A spray coat of vegetable oil and light brushing with a brass grid brush before and after use is all it takes to maintain cooking readiness and ensure long life.

PROTECTING THE WHOLE BARBECUE FINISH

Barbecue covers* will protect the finish and extend the life and appearance of Fire Magic Barbecues equipped with smoke ovens. The covers are designed to protect the finish against scratches, corrosion and oxidation. Each cover has been cut and sewn by hand to fit a particular smoke oven model. Flaps extend from the sides and back. In windy areas, place weights on the flaps or inside the sleeve on the flaps to keep the cover from blowing off.
