GENERAL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•Clean grease from the drip tray of the Spitfire after each use
•The burner orifice can be removed for thorough cleaning or cleaned in place with hot water and a bronze wire brush, see section “ The Burners”.
•Stainless Spitfire top lid and main body will discolor with the heat. This is chromium reacting with the heat and the oxygen to create chromium oxide, the component of stainless steel that gives it corrosion resistance. While all quality stainless will react this way with heat, it should not be confused with corrosion. The use of stainless steel polish.
•The Top Lid will loosen where it attaches to the Main Body. To tighten use two 7/16” wrenches. Back off the outer acorn nut and tighten the inner hex nut.
