CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
Part of the appeal of your Lynx Smoker is the fine grain
finish. When removing stubborn stains:
• Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direc-
tion of the grain.
• Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on
your Lynx Smoker.
• 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.
Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry
can be very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel.
Ensure your Lynx products are well protected before
you allow the use of such chemicals near your smoker.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND
COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of
a Lynx Smoker 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 such as Ecloth perform very
well).
• Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do
not cover a damp smoker.
• In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which
leaves a microscopic protective layer on the smoker.
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 smoker is dry and then cover and secure the
cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the
surfaces.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME WARRANTY PROVIDES
PROTECTION AGAINST RUST THROUGH OF PARTS THAT
RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT DOES NOT
COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST OR STAINING DUE
TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
After your first use certain areas of the smoker may
discolor from the heat given off by the burners - this is
normal and cannot be cleaned off.
For light and heavy food stains there are many different
stainless steel cleaners available.
There will be darkening on the inside of the smoker which
is normal. This can be cleaned off with an interior oven
cleaning product.
