Care & Protection of Stainless Steel Surfaces
This barbecue features stainless steel components. All stainless steel grades require a level of care and protection to
retain their appearance. Stainless steels are not immune to corrosion and they ARE NOT maintenance-free, contrary
to popular public perception. Stainless steel requires frequent cleaning with fresh water to avoid oxidation and other
corrosive issues.
Brushed-finish stainless steel requires frequent cleaning and care, to maintain its quality of appearance. Without
adequate care it is realistic to expect that it will show signs of corrosion in time.
Protection/Cleaning of Stainless Steel Parts
After assembly, and/or cleaning, we recommend applying a thin layer of olive oil with a clean rag, to all exposed
stainless steel areas. This should then be polished in and buffed off with another clean rag to a non-oily finish. This
process will aid protection against dirt and other corrosive contaminants, by providing a temporary food-safe shield.
The olive oil layer also makes later polishing and removal of fingerprints easier. This process should be repeated
frequently when cleaning your grill.
Barbecue Cover
It is recommended that a barbecue cover should be used at all times when it is not in use to protect against the
weather. However it is vital to understand that unless the barbecue is cool, clean and dry when the cover is
fitted, use of a cover can in fact be detrimental. A cover placed on a warm, wet or unclean barbecue (or any mix
of these factors) can in fact be a very effective corrosion breeder!
The barbecue should always be cool, cleaned of any surface contaminants or dirt and be thoroughly dry before a
protective cover is fitted. This is especially important before a barbecue is stored for any length of time ie: if the
barbecue doesn’t get frequent use, or when the barbecue is stored away over winter months.
In order to maintain the quality of the finish of the stainless steel parts of this barbecue, be vigilant with care and
maintenance according to this advice.
