WARNING: Never build shelf or enclose interior space under the BBQ Cut-Out. The Ruby Grill is
Self-Rimming and is supported by the top counter surface on the Back and Sides, the front of grill is
designed to Free-Hang. The bottom of Grill needs to be open to allow for proper ventilation.
Grill Cut-Out
Your grill is SELF-RIMMING, meaning the lip of grill rests on top of the counter edge around the cut-out
with the front of grill which is Free-Hanging from counter top. Because of this, there is No Need for any
Trim-Kit like with many other grills in the market.
1. Maintain 24” Clearance from any Combustible Materials in ANY direction of Grill.
2. If any combustible materials within 24” distance, must have Heat Barrier like Grill Jacket, or other
Non-Combustible type like Bricks, Hardy Board, Metal.
3. Orient the grill so the Prevailing winds are not blowing into the rear or side of grill.
9
LOCATING GRILL – Installing into Open Area
Windy Conditions
Your grill is specially designed to draw fresh air in through the front, and in direct to the bottom burners.
When grilling the hot gases are then released through the back of grill through a venting system. Using
your grill in windy conditions may disrupt the front-to-back air flow.
1. For breezy days, be careful not to leave the front hood down for more than 15 minutes, when the
burners are on. (Never leave grill unattended when in operation)
2. If you suspect the grill is overheating, using an oven mitt, open the front hood. Then adjust the
burner control knob to off position.
3. Orient the grill so the Prevailing winds are not blowing into the rear or side of grill.
10
LOCATING GRILL– Installing into Windy Open Area
ATTENTION: Take special precaution when installing grill in open Breezy area, check the
direction of Prevailing Wind, if back of grill is facing any oncoming wind or breeze, be sure to protect
the back of grill, and erect a partition wall, or only use grill with hood open on breezy days.
Windy Area
Positioning your grill in your backyard is more often thought of how it is pleasing to the eye, but more
important than this is how that it functions correctly. Unlike an indoor appliance, your grill must combat
many outside weather influences in an all manner of weather-related instances, most severely is Wind.
1. Maintain proper Prevailing wind, grill direction – with the front of grill facing in to the wind, and
the back of grill in the direct wind is blowing.
2. If direction of wind is unclear, or difficult to combat even with preventative measures, then always
grill with the hood open, and when hood is closed – always be within proximity to grill and monitor
it that it does not overheat.
3. If wind or breeze is in the direction of back of grill, you must erect partition wall of 14” height so
that the top of grill hood is covered by several inches. If this is not done, you must grill with hood
open and or when hood is closed stand in close area to grill and monitor if the grill overheats.

WARNING: NEVER BUILD YOUR OUTDOOR KITCHEN ISLAND USING COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, MAINTANE 24” DISTANCES FROM GRILL. USING A GRILL JACKET IS NOT A SURE BET
TO PROTECT COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, NEITHER IS THE USE OF HARDY-BOARD.
LOCATING GRILL– Installing under overhead structure
Overhead Structure Definition:
Structure built above Appliance that is sometimes attached to the home’s exterior outside wall or
roof and there is a Minimum of “Two” adjacent sides which are open with outside exposure.
Minimum Distances to Combustible Materials or other
Appliance ONLY, Non-Combustible materials do not apply!
(A) From Counter to Overhead Structure
5’ Feet Min. Clearance
(B) From Counter to Combustible Material “if” within 24” distance
24" Min. Clearance
(C) From Floor to Underside of Overhead Structure
8’ Feet Min. Clearance
(D) From Appliance to Appliance
3" Min. Clearance
(E) From Appliance to Combustible Material
24" Min. Clearance

LOCATING GRILL – Installing into Enclosed Area
13
LOCATING GRILL – Installing into Enclosed Area
Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*:
A minimum of 4” to 6” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is
required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6” rear and
side clearance to construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you’ll be using the
rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance.
BODILY INJURY: Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that
may result in property damage or serious personal injury.
Clearances to Combustible Construction**:
Minimum of 24” from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical combustible
construction, above the counter top level. You should take in account that there is a large volume of heat,
and smoke will exhaust from the rear of the grill. This may discolor or damage unprotected areas, do not
install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.
A 24” minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible construction. The
clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket.
** DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Any materials of a building structure or decorative
structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic or other materials that are capable of
transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered combustible even though flame-
proofed, fire-retardant treated or surface-painted, or plastered.
ATTENTION: All Gas Grill Installations MUST HAVE MINIMUM TWO AIR-FLOW VENTS, either in
ELEVATED POSITION for Natural Gas or LOWERED POSITION for Liquid Propane. Your Warranty may
be VOID if island does not meet basic setup requirements.
Enclosed Island Definition:
Any Appliance that is installed into “Enclosed” structure with Two or more sides walled off, either into
an outdoor home’s patio structure, against any home exterior wall or under any Eaves of the home.
WARNING: NEVER BUILD YOUR OUTDOOR KITCHEN ISLAND USING COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, MAINTANE 24” DISTANCES FROM GRILL. USING A GRILL JACKET IS NOT A SURE BET
TO PROTECT COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, NEITHER IS THE USE OF HARDY-BOARD.

GRILL INSTALLATION- Light Transformer Installation
1. Locate the transformer
Remove the transformer from the plastic bag located
in the interior of grill. Make sure the Transformer is
complete, and double check the grill light plug cord is
properly secured to transformer, and all wires are
firmly fixed into plastic clip plug.
2. Mount Transformer
Using metal screws and attach the transformer to the
back inner wall of your islands cabinet wall,
somewhere near the already installed GFCI electrical
outlet. When you plug the transformer in, double
check then GFCI breaker switch, that the outlet has
power.
3. Make Connections
Locate the Light Switch on Left side BACK of grill. The
connection clips together, to form a secure
connection. Double check that all wires are tightly
pushed into plug sockets, so all wires make proper
connections.
15
LIVE CIRCUIT: Indicates a potentially hazard from Live electrical current that if extreme caution is
not used, may result in minor or moderate personal injury, or property damage.
GRILL INSTALLATION – Propane Tank Types
Types of Propane Tanks: Propane tanks are mainly used alongside stoves, water heaters, grills,
generators, and welding equipment. These bottles or metal cylinders contain propane, a type of alkaline
gas that has been compressed and transformed into liquid form. Transporting, storing, and using
propane safely can only be possible if it is held inside tanks or containers. Since propane has various
applications, many types of tanks are being used as propane containers. Below are some common
examples.
Large Capacity Tanks: Propane is delivered to your home as a very cold liquid and is pumped into a
specially designed storage tank (Fig.A). The liquid changes to gas before leave’s the tank. Propane tanks
are typically painted white or silver to reflect heat and prevent the pressure inside the tank from getting
too high.
If you have an underground tank, only the cover (Fig.B)
will be visible above ground.
• The cover on top of the tank protects several
components from weather and physical damage.
• The tank shut-off valve, which you can close to
stop the flow of propane to your home in case of
a leak or other emergency.
• The regulator, which controls the pressure of the
propane gas coming out of the tank.
• The safety relief valve, which will pop open
automatically if the pressure inside the tank gets
too high. The valve will close again when the
pressure returns to normal.
• The tank gauge, which shows the percentage of
propane in the tank.
Propane flows from your tank to your home through pipes, most of which run
underground. You may also have a secondary pressure regulator on an outside wall of your
home to further adjust gas pressure. A shut-off valve in each pipe can be closed to stop gas
flow to an individual appliance. An appliance connector is the final segment in the gas
piping system. This specially designed flexible tube typically two or three feet long-carries
gas from a pipe to the back of an appliance.
Medium Capacity Tanks
Any L.P. gas supply cylinder used with this grill must be approximately 12 inches diameter
and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 80% and is approximately 20 pounds of
propane. The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 L.P. A Type 1
compatible cylinder with a Type 1-cylinder valve has a back-check valve which does not
permit gas flow, until a positive seal has been obtained.
LP Tank Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge tank before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank volume. Volume of
propane in tank will vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP tank valve and call
local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous
practice.
• To remove gas from LP tank, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for
assistance.
• Check the telephone directory under “Gas companies” for nearest certified LP
dealers.

WARNING: If you have a Side Yard Propane Tank, you MUST have additional Medium
Pressure Regulator located at the Grill. If you do not serious bodily harm may result or damage
to the grill and island structure from HIGH Heat extremes.
GRILL INSTALLATION – LP Gas Line Connections
1. For this type of installation, it is most similar to the NG gas installation method, only the regulator
is set for liquid propane. First you will install a gas pipe, coming into island from outside, be sure
the Safety Shut-Off valve is easily accessible.
2. Next, locate the gas manifold on grill, for this type of installation, the 1/2" to 3/8" flare adapter,
and LP Regulator Hose that comes with your LP Grill is not needed. Gas connections are made
with all 1/2" flare adapters, and UL Gas Hoses.
3. A LP REGULATOR is required for this type of installation, even if the LP Tank is installed with one
already. LP regulator for grill should be set for a minimum of 120,000 BTU's with Medium
Pressure. This LP grill does not come with an independent LP regulator for this type of
installation. Contact the company you purchased from, or your local plumber to locate one, that
is made for commercial style grills.
4. For easier connections, we recommend the Quick Connect Gas hose, to make final connection.
NOTE: for Large Capacity Propane Tank hook up Individual LP
regulator is NOT provided, (the one provided with grill is for
Medium Propane Tank)

USING YOUR GRILL – Cooking Zones
Cooking Zones
Your Ruby Grill is divided into Five Cooking
Zones, depending on the number of burners you have will
increase or decrease the size of each zone. Each cooking zone is designed to be controlled individually by
the burner control knob. Specific zones are better suited to specific types cooking.
Heat Distribution
The heat level at each part of the grill has been
engineered for specific purposes. Knowing the
heat distribution for each burner will allow you
the very best possible food positioning when
grilling. The front of the grill is designed, for
safety reasons, to be the coolest part of the grill.
From the front of the grill and moving back, the
heat rises gradually until just above the burner's
front edge, where it rises rapidly to a medium to
high temperature. The temperature will Continue
to rise to searing levels in the back. In addition,
turning the back Infra-Red Burner ON will provide
additional Intense Heat Source for Pass-Over
Searing.
Variable Cooking Grids
Your Ruby Grill is designed for an exquisite cooking
experience with the use of variable cooking grids
and separate searing station. The Three Zones
from right to left side making up the Total Grilling
Space. Typical Grid Spacing is 7/8” Inch – great for
larger cuts of meat, for smaller items like Hot Dogs,
Vegetables like Asparagus, Mushrooms, and
Peppers require the center narrower grids at just
½” Spacing so food items do not fall through.
23
USING YOUR GRILL – Smoker/Steamer Box
Smoker/Steamer Box
Adding the smoker box to your cooking experience
creates a unique flavorful experience to your food.
Use it for either a smoker box with wood chips, or
by filling with Water it becomes a steamer box.
While in use, remember to close the hood, with
the knobs set to LOW, for maximum results. There
are many different wood chips available on the
market, the most common ones are mesquite and
hickory. Just remember to soak the chips for 30
minutes prior, for best results.
HOW TO SMOKE:
1. Fill the smoker box with thoroughly
soaked and drained wood chips.
2. Place the smoker box on the burner.
3. Place the smoker under the
cooking grates, close the hood
and set the smoker burner to
high. Smoke should begin in
about 5-7 minutes.
One tray of wood chips will usually last about one hour. During
extended grilling, chips may need to be added several times.
Lift the box only partially out of the grill to add chips while in
use. Never remove the hot smoker tray completely from the
grill. To improve smoke performance, keep the hood closed as
much as possible while food is grilling, turn heat to Med-Low
setting with hood closed.
TYPES OF WOOD CHIPS TO USE:
Alder: Medium, tart smoke flavor. Excellent on fish, chicken.
Maple: Sweet, hearty smoke flavor. Best with fish, jerky or bacon.
Apple: Light, sweet smoke flavor. Superb with poultry, ham or sausage.
Hickory: Heavy smoke flavor. Best with beef, pork.
Mesquite: Light smoke flavor. Excellent on fish, poultry or beef.
Oak: Heavy smoke flavor. Best with beef, lamb or pork.
Pecan: Rich, sweet, versatile flavor. Good with any grilled food.
Grapevine: Strong smoke flavor. Best with beef or poultry.
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your
food without the heat source directly under your
food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one
side of the grill while slow cooking on the other
side of the grill. It is like cooking in a oven and is
generally used for larger cuts of meats, but can
also be used for cooking foods that are prone to
flare ups. Indirect Cooking will result in tender
foods every time you grill.
Turn the Far-Left Valve on Medium Heat – while
placing your food items in Zone Three, or Zone
Five.
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking is the process of
cooking your food without the
heat source directly under your
food. You can sear meat over a
high flame on one side of the grill
while slow cooking on the other
side of the grill – works great with
smoking or steaming also. Fill
your Smoker Box with Vinaigrette,
Water, and Sliced Lemons for a
for exquisite chef style grilling.
Indirect Cooking will result in
tender food every time you grill.

Sear Cooking Tips
Sear cooking is recommended for most grilling applications as searing locks in flavor and juices while
allowing the outer surface to absorb smoke and food aroma that is produced, as grease and drippings are
vaporized on searing grate. The result is a crispy, flavorful outside with a tender, juicy inside.
Your Ruby Grill is designed with a Thermal Searing Grate – shown as the Pro Sear. The Burner below
matches with others, only the valve features a larger orifice for maxing out the BTU’s over 20,000 for the
Searing Zone. The Searing Grate is Welded Double Sided made with Heavy Duty 14 Gauge Steel with
Perforated Holes on the underside with Hollow Chambers running the length of the searing surface. As
heat enters these underside Perforated Holes, it fills the Hollow Chambers of the Searing Grate increasing
the Surface Temperature over 800 Degrees in a very short time.
By closing the Hood, you can further increase the temperature of the searing grate. For Ease of use you
can move the searing location to the left side or center of cooking surface by custom adjustments of the
cooking grid locations.
25
USING YOUR GRILL-Burner Adjustments
Correct Flame Color and Height
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive
noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check if the air
shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, or spider
webs. If needed, proceed with air shutter adjustment.
The amount of air which enters a burner is governed by an
adjustable bolt at the inlet called an air shutter. It is locked in
place by a set screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the
burner for adjustment. Flames should be blue and stable with no
yellow tips, Excessive noise or lifting.
Combustion Chamber Balance
The bolt on the Right side of each burner called is called the
“AIR VENTURI” and it regulates the amount of air that enters
into the burner for combustion. The air venturi adjustment screw
is accessible by using your hand, be sure burner is not hot.
If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the
air venturi bolt counterclockwise to allow more air to the
burner.
If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the
burner, indicating too much air, turn the air venturi bolt
clockwise.

Electrical Grounding Instructions:
The rotisserie motor is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electric shock. This
plug must be inserted directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.
The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Do not use an extension cord to supply power to your grill. Such use may result in fire, electrical shock or other
personal injury. Do not install a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. A fuse in the neutral or ground circuit may result
in an electrical shock hazard. Do not ground this appliance to a gas supply pipe or hot water pipe.
1. Insert Rotisserie Motor into Motor Bracket Assembly.
2. Slide Prong Forks with the prongs facing away from the handle into Spit Rod. So that any food item
will be in the center between the two four prong forks.
3. Assemble Key Washer, Counter-balance and handle to Spit Rod. Slide Shaft Collar with long end
towards handle.
4. Insert motor extension cord three prong plug into an adjacent grounded GFCI receptacle outlet.
5. Before placing food item on forks when the rotisserie is being operated exclusively, it is strongly
recommended that a pan be placed on the grilling grids, beneath the food to catch the meat
drippings. This will prevent excessive build up of drippings on the grids and facilitate cleaning.
When food item is placed on rotisserie, be sure that all Bolts are tightened securely.
6. Preheat the grill by setting all the burners on high, once hot, turn off all but the rear burner. The
spit hangs over the front or center burner, so that the meat is not directly over the heat.
Preheat the grill, then turn the burners to low. Place a drip pan on the grill below the meat. Add
about 1/2 inch of water to the drip pan.
7. Place the first pair of prongs onto the spit, then push the meat onto the spit and into the
prongs. Add the other set of prongs and push them into the meat securely anchoring it onto
the spit. Tighten the wing nut that holds the prongs in place and attach the spit to the brackets
on either side of the rotisserie.
8. The rotisseries rod comes with a counter balance weight, adjust it as needed. Start the motor
and make sure the meat is balanced on the spit so that it turns evenly. You may need to adjust
the grate and drip pan if your meat is large. Make sure the meat can turn with no obstructions.
9. Close the lid while the rotisserie does its job. The rotation evenly melts the fat in the meat and
naturally bastes the meat, but you may wish to baste with a mop sauce occasionally during
grilling. Check the meat with a meat thermometer for doneness before turning off the heat.
When done, remove the spit using insulated oven mitts. Place the meat on a clean platter and
cover it with foil while it rests.
27
USING YOUR GRILL- Rotisserie Cooking
WARNING: Never stand with your head directly over the Grill when preparing to light the Rotisserie
burner, to prevent possible bodily injury. Never operate Rotisserie Burner with main (other) burner(s)
“ON”. Warming Rack must be removed or in Tilt-Away Position when Rotisserie Burner is ON.
Rotisserie Cooking Tips
Rotisserie is mostly used to cook large piece of meat and poultry to assure slow, even cooking. The
constant turning provides a self-basting action, making food cooked on a rotisserie exceptionally moist
and juicy. Rotisserie cooking generally requires 1 ½ to 4½ hrs. to cook depending on the size and type of
meat being cooked. You can have rotisserie cooking with indirect heat or with infrared rotisserie burner.
Preferred by professional chefs over other methods, the intense heat is ideal for searing in the natural
juices and nutrients found in quality meat. For successful rotisserie, the meat should be centered and
balanced as evenly as possible on the spit rod to avoid overworking the rotisserie motor.
Your Ruby Grill is designed with High & Low Spit Rod positions, the Low position centers your meat in
the grills body, while the high positions bring it closer to the back Infra-Red burner for High Heat
Searing. Also, you can place up to Two Rotisserie Rods and Motors Criss-Crossed as shown in the above
example for Setup of your Rotisserie Assembly.

of serious harm to self or
others.
Mix Solution
Prepare a leak testing
solution of soapy water by
mixing in a spray bottle one
part liquid soap to one part
water. You can also use
mild detergent or liquid
soap and water.
Leak Testing Procedure
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system is
disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted
match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.

GRILL START-UP - Grill Safety
Grill Operation.
If a burner goes out, turn burner knobs to full OFF position, fully open the grill hood and let any gasses out.
Do not attempt to use the grill until the gas has had time to dissipate.
Never use the grill if the drip pan is not properly installed. Drip pan should be pushed all the way into the
rack located just under the grill. Fire or explosion can result from an improperly installed drip pan. Keep all
electrical supply cords and the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill. Never use the
grill or side burner in windy conditions. If used in a consistently windy area a windbreak will be required.
Always adhere to the specified clearances listed in this manual.
Never allow clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials meet or be close to any grate, burner or hot
surface until it has fully cooled. Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using your grill.
Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury. Do not heat any unopened glass or metal container of food on
the grill. Pressure may build up and cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in serious personal injury
or damage to the grill. Do not reach over your grill or any other surfaces when hot or in use.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the appliance off and smother the
flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid, a cookie sheet or a flat tray. For flaming grease outside of the pan,
smother it with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. When your gas grill is not in
use, turn off the gas at the supply cylinder. Storage of a grill indoors is permissible only if the supply cylinder
is disconnected and removed. We recommend commercial quality aluminum pans and utensils.
Never leave the grill and side burners unattended when in use. When using pots and pans, boil- overs will
cause smoking and greasy boil-overs may ignite.
Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners of the grill and block the gas and airflow
to the burner ports. This creates a dangerous condition that can result in a fire behind the
valve panel. Inspect and clean the burners periodically and follow the guidelines in the
Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual.
CAUTION
Do Not close grill hood for more than 7 minutes with burners set to HIGH temperature, or damage
may occur to grill that is not covered under manufacture warranty.

CARE & MAINTANCE –Cleaning the Grill
ANNUAL CLEANING OF GRILL HOUSING
Burn-off the grill after use will keep it ready for instant use, however, once a year you should give the
entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition.
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnects fuel line. Protect fuel line fitting.
2. Remove and clean the cooking grids, flavorizors and burners.
3. Remove warming rack and wash with mild detergent and warm water.
4. Cover the gas valve orifices with a piece of aluminum foil.
5. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a stiff wire brush, and wash down with a mild soap and
warm water solution. Wash thoroughly and let it dry.
6. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check orifices for obstruction.
7. Check electrode.
8. Reinstall flavorizors, cooking grids, and warming rack.
9. Reconnect to gas source and observe burner flame for correct operation.
IMPORTANT: You should NOT line the bottom of the grill housing with aluminum foil, sand or any other
grease absorbent substance. Grease will not be able to drip into the drip tray and a grease fire may occur.
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
1. Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
3. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
4. Visually check burner flames. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive
noise, or lifting.
5. Clean outdoor cooking gas appliance, including special surfaces, with recommended cleaning agents,
if necessary.
6. Check and clean burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the
grill.
RUST-BROWN MARKS:
When this type of staining occurs, it is unlikely that rusting of the stainless steel itself causes the marks.
Similar marks can be found with both porcelain and plastic sinks. The rust marks are the result of small
particles of “ordinary-steel” which have become attached to the surface; these have subsequently
rusted in the damp environment. The most common source of such particles is from “wire wool”
scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from carbon steel utensils and old cast iron water supply
pipes. These brown marks are only superficial stains, which will not harm the Grill; they should be
removable using a soft damp cloth and a multi-purpose cream cleanser. Occasionally, it may be necessary
to resort to a proprietary stainless-steel cleanser, to return the surface of the Grill to its original condition.
To avoid re-
occurrence of any “rust-staining” it is essential that the source of the contamination be eliminated.
PITTING:
Another form of corrosion, which occasionally occurs in stainless steel, is pitting of the surface. The reason
for this corrosive attack can usually be attributed to certain household products. Such as.
BLEACHES:
Most common domestic bleaches & sterilizing solutions contain chlorine in the form of sodium
hypochlorite. If used in concentrated form, bleaches can attack the stainless steel, causing pitting of the
surface. They should always be used to the strengths prescribed by the manufacturer and should be
thoroughly rinsed off with clean water immediately after use. All cleaning agents containing hypochlorite
are unsuitable for long term contact with stainless steel and, even when used in the highly diluted form,
they can give pitting under certain conditions.
FOODSTUFFS:
In general, stainless steel is fully resistant to all foodstuffs in common use. Only in isolated cases, such
as when concentrated salt and vinegar mixtures can remain in contact with the steel for a long period can
any surface marking result.
35
CARE & MAINTANCE – Opening Panel
When performing a Gas Conversion, Opening the Panel is the First Step to converting the grill from either Liquid
