Grill Maintenance and Cleaning cont.
Ceramic Briquettes:
The ceramic briquettes normally burn off any accumulated food drippings. But you may
occasionally experience larger spills that don't burn off under normal use.
When this happens:
1. Let the grill cool completely. Remove the racks and then the briquette trays by lifting the front
edge and lifting them upward.
2. Flip the trays over and put them back in place over the burner.
3. Light the burners and set them to "MAX" for 5 - 10 minutes to burn the briquettes clean. Be sure
the trays have completely cooled before reinstalling them. Any remaining food items can be
brushed off using a soft brush.
Replacement briquette trays can be ordered from ShopNewAge.com
Stainless Steel:
1. After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove grease, black soot and splatters.
2. Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the grates and burners clean and ready
for use.
3. Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner to clean and polish the exterior surfaces.
Part of the appeal of the NewAge Grill is the fine grain finish. Always clean with the grain direction.
When removing stubborn stains:
•
Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direction of the grain.
•
Some household cleaning products are not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read the label
before using on your NewAge Grill.
•
Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Specks
of grease may gather in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface, giving the
appearance of rust.
To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite
is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always be sure to clean and polish with the
direction of the grain.
Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be very corrosive and will cause corrosion,
pitting and discoloration on the stainless steel finish. Avoid these products coming into contact with
the NewAge Grill.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of a NewAge Grill is highly rust resistant,
however, chlorine in the air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause surface rust to
appear and even create some pitting if left on the product.
Here are a few tips to avoid this:
•
Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Micro fiber cloths perform very
well.
•
Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do not cover a damp grill.
•
In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on
the grill. Products that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors (VpCI™) protect the surface
very well.
•
For seasonal storage use the product referred to above, ensure the grill is dry and then cover and
secure the cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the surfaces.
THE NEWAGE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE TO
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
