CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT Stainless Steel & General Product Care
To keep your TWIN EAGLES products free of surface corrosion and in good working order, it is important to
take additional precautions under certain conditions.
If your TWIN EAGLES products are located in corrosive conditions, such as:
A coastal environment where corrosive salty air is present.
Near a swimming pool, hot tub or water feature with exposure to corrosive pool chemicals and/or
chlorinated water.
Areas where muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) or other corrosive cleaning solutions are used to clean
concrete and masonry.
Areas where corrosive masonry dust and debris are created by cutting stone or mixing cements.
These conditions can create a highly corrosive environment that will cause the corrosions resistant type 304
stainless steel to develop surface oxidation, corrosions or rust.
TWIN EAGLES products have been tested in saline solutions, highly chlorinated solutions and have been tested
against exposure to highly acidic foods. The test results proved the type 304 stainless steel can withstand
exposure over prolonged periods of time. However, the conditions outlined above, along with neglect, can lead
to surface corrosion or rust.
It is recommended that your TWIN EAGLES products be kept dry and covered when not in use. This is even
more important when long-term storage is intended.
Do not allow food particles or grease to be left inside your TWIN EAGLES products. These can attract rodents,
which are unsanitary and are likely to cause physical damage by chewing on the wiring, which can cause
permanent damage to the electrical components.
If you are located along the coast or in the desert, wind driven sand is extremely abrasive and can pit and
scratch the stainless steel. Keep your TWIN EAGLES products covered when not in use.
When routine cleaning, maintenance and awareness of the conditions outlined above, you can enjoy many years
of service from your TWIN EAGLES products.
In the event that surface corrosion has developed on the stainless steel, it is typically not the stainless steel that
is corroding but corrosive particles that have been deposited on the surface.
TWIN EAGLES grills are made of all welded stainless steel. It is non-rusting and non-magnetic. Never clean the
stainless steel when it is hot. After the initial grilling use, certain areas of the grill may discolor. This is a
normal discoloration caused by the intense heat given off by the burners.
Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can be removed by
using a mild abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always scrub in the
direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights. Be extra careful when cleaning around the highlights. Metal
polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back the luster on highlights. To touch-up minor scratches
in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface very lightly, with 100-dry grit emery sandpaper in the direction
of the grain.
