Stainless Steel Grate Care
and Cleaning Tips
These stainless steel surface burner grates are the same as what is commonly used in commercial and
restaurant style ranges. Over time they will naturally start to darken and discolor. This is the standard process
of how stainless steel reacts when it is exposed to high heat temperatures. The discoloration of the grates will
not affect the performance.
While the stainless steel surface burner grates will never return to the original color, there are some steps which
can be taken to help minimize the discoloration of these components. To ensure that the stainless steel
maintains adequate corrosion resistance, it should be cleaned regularly. Surface contaminates vary in terms of
corrosiveness, effect on surface finish, and ease of removal. The mildest form of cleaning should always be
used first.
To clean a lightly soiled surface
•It is recommended to use warm water, a mild, non-abrasive
detergent, and a soft cloth.
For more highly soiled/discolored surfaces
•It is recommended to scrub the grates using a dry heavy duty green Scotch Brite pad. Note -
scrubbing the grates with a Scotch Brite pad will help improve the look of the heat tarnished grate but
will not completely restore it to its original look.
Things to avoid when cleaning stainless steel
•Steel brushes or steel wool
•Abrasive cleaners
•Bleach or hydrochloric acid based cleaners
•Detergents containing chloride
•Avoid using cleaning cloths that have been used on ordinary steel
•Never rub against the grain with a cleaning agent or polish as it will alter the surface of the steel and
reduce the corrosion resistance.
•DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will
permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately
