Stainless steel resists most food stains and
pit marks providing the surface is kept
clean and protected.
Never allow food stains or salt to remain on
stainless steel for any length of time.
Rub lightly in the direction of polish lines.
Chlorine or chlorine compounds in some
cleaners are corrosive to stainless steel.
Check ingredients on label before using.
The grates are heavy; use care when
lifting. Place on a protected surface.
Blisters / crazing / chips are common due
to the extreme temperatures on grate
fingers and rapid temperature changes.
Acidic and sugar-laden spills deteriorate
the enamel. Remove soil immediately.
Abrasive cleaners, used too vigorously or
too often, can eventually mar the enamel.
Avoid excess water on the igniter. A damp
igniter will prevent burner from lighting.
Remove any lint that may remain after
cleaning.
