Caring for your Barbecues EXTERIOR SURFACES

ALL MATERIALS including stainless steel, porcelain and black or silver painted steel parts

can become stained, soiled and corroded by dirt, pollution, deposits from inappropriate

cleaners and especially grease. To protect the appearance and integrity of the surface,

routine cleaning is essential. Contaminants vary greatly in their eect on appearance,

corrosivity and ease of removal. It may be necessary to identify the contaminant or

experiment with various cleaners in order to resolve issues including the removal of free-iron

contamination.

• DO remove dirt and contamination immediately to avoid permanent damage to stainless

steel, porcelain or painted surfaces,

• DO test all cleaners on a small inconspicuous area to ensure that it is beneﬁcial for surfaces,

• DO only use cleaners made speciﬁcally for outdoor products

• DO use one of the following methods of cleaning:

Warm water and mild soap solution to remove all contaminants

Warm water, detergent, solvent solution to remove grease buildup

50/50 mixture of vinegar and water for removing surface dirt and contamination

Commercial grade stainless steel cleaner for polishing

•DO thoroughly rinse o all cleaners, with clean warm water, and dry completely with

a soft cloth.

• DO only use a soft clean cloth, when cleaning surfaces to avoid scratching ﬁnish. Microﬁber

cloths are highly recommended

• DO NOT use any chloride-containing detergents.

• DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners.

• DO NOT use any chemical cleaners as they may strip the paint, causing permanent damage

• DO NOT use ordinary carbon steel brushes, steel wool or scouring pads as they may leave

particles embedded on the surface which can lead to rust

• DO NOT use bleach or cleaners containing bleach. If accidental contact occurs wash

immediately with baking soda and rinse thoroughly.

STEP THREE: Storing your barbecue

To avoid the deterioration and degradation of parts, perform the following tasks prior to

storing your BARBECUE for the season.

• Remove and clean all Barbecue components as outlined in the Care and Cleaning section

of this manual

• Remove cooking grates, wrap them in a towel and store indoors. For porcelain cast iron

cooking grates, be sure to season the cooking grates before wrapping in a towel and

storing indoors.

• If storing the BBQ away for the winter, or for a prolonged period of time, remove

the igniter battery to avoid corrosion

• If storing the Barbecue indoors: the propane cylinder MUST be removed.

• The propane cylinder MUST always be stored outdoors, in a well ventilated area.

• When storing your Barbecue in a garage, you should place a piece of cardboard

underneath your Barbecue to protect it from concrete moisture damage.

• If storing the Barbecue outdoors: the propane cylinder valve must be turned “OFF”.

• DO NOT under any circumstances store the Barbecue with propane tank in the garage or

near any heat source.

• Use a BARBECUE cover to help protect your Barbecue

• Please note: covering your BBQ will protect it from the eects of snow, rain, animal

droppings and more, but will not protect against moisture damage, condensation, and

other corrosive agents.
