• 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 ortoo
often, can eventually mar the enamel.
• Avoid excess water on the igniter. A damp igniter
will prevent burner from lighting.
