To clean the inside and outside of the grill body, simply use a damp cloth.
Spray-washing with a water hose is not recommended. Moisture should be wiped away and not
allowed to stand inside or on top of the unit. Once cleaned, you may prefer to lightly coat the

If rust is present on the exterior surface of the unit, clean the area with steel wool or emery cloth and
use heavy-duty, heat-resistant paint.

clean it thoroughly with steel wool or emery cloth and lightly coat the area with cooking oil or cooking
spray to help minimize recurring rust.
To protect your unit from weather conditions, always keep it covered while not in use.
