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. INTERIOR Discoloration of stainless steel on these parts is to be expected, due to intense heat from the burners. Always rub in the direction of the grain. Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with clean, warm water. Cleaning Method: ■ Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner. ■ Rinse with clean water and dry completely with a soft, lintfree cloth. ■ A heavy-duty scrub sponge can be used with mild cleaning products. ■ For small, difficult-to-clean areas, use Kitchen and BBQ Grill Degreaser Part Number 31617, a commercial degreaser designed for stainless steel.
