Cleaning STAINLESS STEEL parts
To protect the appearance and integrity of Stainless Steel surfaces, routine cleaning is essential. Contaminants vary greatly
in their eect on appearance, corrosivity and ease of removal. Identify the contaminant or experiment with various cleaners
in order to resolve issues including the removal of free-iron contamination. It is impossible to wear out the stainless steel by
excessive cleaning. But is possible to damage the stainless steel components and damage the corrosion resistance using
products NOT made for a Stainless Steel outdoor appliance.
Cleaning Stainless steel Surfaces:
• Ensure that all stainless steel surfaces are wiped down frequently with a basic vinegar and water solution. If there are other
cleaners being used ensure that they are specically for Stainless Steel OUTDOOR USE. Regardless of instructions all cleaners
must be rinsed o and dried with a soft cloth.
• Most cleaners may have corrosive agents and MUST be rinsed o and the surface dried thoroughly.
• Always nd a small and inconspicuous spot to test cleansers before cleaning the entire BBQ.
• Ordinary carbon steel brushes or steel wool MUST NOT be used to clean stainless steel. They will scratch the nish and leave
particles embedded on the surface that will corrode.
• Your Master Chef® BBQ uses both Stainless steel 430 and Silver powder coated paint. To clean and maintain your BBQ’s
surfaces DO NOT use any chemical cleaners, as they may strip and cause permanent damage to the painted surfaces. Master
Chef® BBQ’s only recommend using a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water for removing surface dirt and contamination, and
a dry soft cloth for polishing. Micro ber clothes are highly recommended.
STORING YOUR BBQ
To avoid BBQ deterioration and degradation of parts, please perform the following tasks, prior to storing your BBQ for the season.
• Remove and clean all BBQ components as outlined in the care and maintenance section of this manual
• If storing unit away for the winter, or for a prolonged period of time, remove your cooking grates, ame tamers, burners and
the ignition battery and store indoors. Removing and storing parts indoors will help avoid moisture damage and corrosion.
• Be sure to wrap your cooking grates, heat plates, and burners in towels when not in use, storing in a dry area, or season and
wrap in news paper, storing indoors.
• If storing the BBQ indoors: the propane cylinder MUST be removed. The propane cylinder MUST always be stored out-
doors, in a well ventilated area. When storing your BBQ in a garage, you should place a piece of cardboard underneath your
BBQ to protect it from premature corrosion.
• If storing the BBQ outdoors: the propane cylinder valve must be turned o. Cover the barbecue. DO NOT under any
circumstances store the barbecue in the garage or near any heat source. Use a BBQ cover to help protect your BBQ from the
direct environment (i.e. Rain, snow, animal droppings, etc.). However, please keep in mind that this will not protect your BBQ
from moisture, condensation, and other corrosive agents. Routine cleaning is necessary.
ATTENTION
To avoid barbecue deterioation and degradation of parts, follow all maintenance and storage
instructions. Take immediate action to clean and perform maintenance on any parts showing signs of
weathering or corrosion.
