Sonoma Smoker By Lynx™ Care & Use P/N 35948 Page 24
Lynx products are known for their aracve appearance. We
achieve this by selecng only the nest grades of stainless steel
and applying exacng workmanship.
In order to maintain this aracve appearance over the life of the
smoker, it is important to take the following steps:
• Aer each use, wipe down the exterior of the smoker to
remove grease and splaers.
• Be sure to follow the cleaning instrucons for keeping the
cooking surface clean and ready for use.
• Use a commercially available Stainless Steel cleaner to
clean and polish the exterior surfaces.
Doing these things on a regular basis minimizes the amount of
eort required.
Part of the appeal of your Lynx Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ is the
ne grain nish. When removing stubborn stains:
 Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direcon
of the grain.
CLEANING YOUR SONOMA SMOKER BY LYNX™
STAINLESS STEEL
 Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel and high heat; be sure to read the label
before using on your Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™.
 Always use the mildest cleaning soluon rst, scrubbing
in the direcon of the grain. Specks of grease may gather
in the grain of the stainless steel and bake onto the
surface, giving the appearance of rust.
To remove these baked on foods, use a ne to medium grit
non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in
conjuncon with a stainless steel cleaner.
Soluons used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be
very corrosive and will aack stainless steel. Ensure your
Lynx products are well protected before you allow the use of
such chemicals near your smoker.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND
COASTAL AREAS:
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construcon of a
Lynx Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ is highly rust resistant, how-
ever chlorine in the air from swimming pools or salt in the sea
air may cause surface rust to appear and even create some
ping if le on the product.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY PROVIDES
PROTECTION AGAINST RUST-THROUGH OF PARTS
THAT RENDER THE PRODUCT INOPERATIVE. IT
DOES NOT COVER OCCASIONAL SURFACE RUST
OR STAINING DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS.
Aer your rst use, certain areas of the smoker may
discolor from the intense heat given o by the burner –
this is normal and cannot be cleaned o.
For light and heavy food stains there are many
dierent stainless steel cleaners available.
There will be darkening on the inside of the smoker
which is normal. This can be cleaned o with an
interior oven cleaning product.
Here are a few ps to avoid this:
Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp
cloth (Micro ber cloths such as Ecloth perform very well.)
Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do
not cover a damp smoker.
In extreme environments, apply a rust inhibitor which
leaves a microscopic protecve layer on the smoker.
Products that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibi-
tors (VpCl™) protect the surface very well.
For seasonal storage use the product referred to above,
ensure the smoker is dry and then cover and secure the
cover to minimize the amount of damp air geng to the
surfaces.
