Cleaning the Drip Tray
The removable drip tray will collect grease as you use your grill. Inspect the drip tray frequently
to ensure that grease and debris do not build up. The drip tray can be wiped with a warm
soapy water mixture and a terry cloth. Use a wire brush, if necessary, to loosen hardened
grease.
Exterior Cleaning
The stainless steel grill exterior may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water
solution such as two tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water.
Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water.
Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. Stainless steel can discolor when
exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or caustic cleaning agent.
Maintenance of your stainless steel grill is important to extend the life of your grill. Stainless
steel can and will rust and corrode if not cleaned properly and regularly.
Caring for Stainless Steel
Grills near swimming pools, high humidity areas, and coastal areas are particularly susceptible
to stainless steel rusting. Moisture, high heat, salt / salt water, and chlorine in particular can
cause damage. Your EdgeStar grill is constructed using high quality stainless steel, but take
extra precautions to maintain the quality aesthetic and well-being of your grill. Additional steps
for caring for your stainless steel grill are below:
Clean up all grease spills and foreign materials that adhere to your grill as soon as
possible.
If using household cleaners made specifically for stainless steel, take care to wipe in the
same direction as the graining / brushing of the stainless steel.
When cleaning the area around your grill floors, cabinetry, other appliances take
care to protect your grill when using other abrasive cleaning materials and sealants. Do
not let these materials come into contact with your grill. If they do, clean them
immediately with a warm soapy water mixture.
If possible, use a cover designed for grills to shelter your grill from the elements.
However, make sure the grill is not still hot or wet before covering the grill.
Warning: Grease build-up poses a fire hazard. Clean the drip tray regularly.
