CARE AND PROTECTION OF STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
Your BBQ features Stainless Steel components, using moderate grade Stainless Steels. All Stain-
less Steel grades require a level of care and protection to retain their appearance. Stainless Steels
are not immune to corrosion and neither are they maintenance-free, contrary to popular
public perception. Even the highest marine grades of Stainless Steel require frequent cleaning
with fresh water to avoid oxidation and other corrosive issues.
After assembly, we recommend that owners apply 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 con-
taminants, 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.
You may have bought a protective cover for your BBQ. It is recommended that a BBQ cover
should be used at all times when the BBQ is not in use to protect your investment. However it is
vital to understand that unless the BBQ 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 BBQ (or any mix
of these factors) can in fact be a very effective corrosion breeder!
For this reason, the BBQ 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
BBQ is stored for any length of time i.e. if the BBQ doesn’t get frequent use, or when the BBQ is
stored away over winter months.
In order to maintain the quality of the finish of your Stainless Steel BBQ, the owner must be vigilant
with care and maintenance according to this advice.
Look after your investment carefully and it will serve you well for many years to come.
