•

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.
