stainless steel looking its best is easy. Simply clean it with soap and water, rinse with
clean water and wipe dry. A non-metallic brush can be used for stubborn stains.
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brushes or abrasive cleaners
on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill, as this will leave
scratches.
IMPORTANT: Do no use cleaners that contain chlorine
bleach on the stainless steel surface of your grill.
IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces, be sure to rub/wipe
in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your
stainless steel.
