OUTDOOR SIDE BURNER CARE
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the side burner is cool. Always follow label instructions on
cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth
or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft,
lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
Do not use steel wool to clean the side burner, as it will scratch
the surface.
To avoid weather damage to finish, use stainless steel side
burner cover.
STAINLESS STEEL
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not
use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop
Polishing Creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths or paper towels.
To avoid damage to the finish, cleaners should not contain
chlorine.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire side burner is
cool. Spills may cause permanent discoloration.
Cleaning Method:
■
Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the
surface.
