this manual.

Basic Lighting Procedures

Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can cause stainless steel to turn a tan

color. Before initial grill use, remove protective PVC film from Control Panel and inside and outside of Grill Lid.

Use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish the stainless steel and remove these excess oils from your grill. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch and damage your grill. For details, see Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces on page 27.
