Grill Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular Maintenance

Wash regularly with clean fresh water, mild detergent and a micro fiber cloth. After washing rinse in
clean water and wipe the surface dry with your cloth remembering to go with the grain on brushed
stainless steel. Generally you should wash your stainless steel every three months. Coastal areas or
next to a chlorine pool more frequently every 2 weeks. Do not use abrasive cleaners or a scouring
pad of any type as they will cause excessive wear and dull the finish. Stainless steel finishes in
coastal environments may show tea staining if not washed regularly. For better protection use a thin
coating of protectant on the surface.
List of common conditions that cause corrosion or discoloration of
stainless steel and should be avoided:
1. Chloride containing cleansers – this includes bleach and any cleaners containing bleach
2. Muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) – commonly used to clean up after tile/concrete installation
3. Concentrated soap residue – chemical additives will cause discoloration and some dried soaps
actually look like rust
4. Water with high iron content – can leave a rusty residue, especially if allowed to drip
continuously
5. Contact with iron materials – including steel wool, iron residue/dust from installation or cleaning
of other steel products
6. Don't allow trapped moisture between the product and cover – rubber mats, metal cANSI or
cleaning products trapped moisture - allow cabinets to completely dry before covering.
7. Salts – contain chlorides
8. Extreme Heat by Flame
9. Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surfaces.
10. No abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive cloths as they will scratch the finish.
OXIDIZATION Removal
If you have oxidation there are a few steps to take to bring your stainless steel cabinets back to "as
new" condition. Apply clean water with a cleaning sponge and rub gently in the direction of the
grain. If the mark won't shift, it may be necessary to use a stainless steel cleaner, in which case apply
the cleaner and rub gently. After cleaning it is important to rinse the stainless steel with clean fresh
water and buff with a soft cloth. Remember to always rub with the grain, NEVER across as you will
ruin the finish, and the stainless can lose its shine.
