STAINLESS STEEL
Lynx products are known for their attractive appearance.
We achieve this by selecting only the finest grades of stain-
less steel and applying exacting workmanship.
In order to maintain this attractive appearance over the life
of the grill it is important to take the following steps:
•After each use wipe down the exterior of the grill to re-
move grease and splatters.
•Be sure to follow the cleaning instructions for keeping the
grates and burners 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 effort required.
•Part of the appeal of your Lynx Grill is the fine grain finish.
When removing stubborn stains:
•Do not use metallic abrasives and always rub in the direc-
tion of the grain.
•Some household cleaning products are not suitable for
stainless steel; be sure to read the label before using on
your Lynx Grill.
•Always use the mildest cleaning solution first, scrubbing
in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease may gather
in the grain of the stainless steel and bake on to the sur-
face, giving the appearance of rust.
•To remove these baked-on foods use a fine to medium
grit non-metallic abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in
conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
•Solutions used for cleaning concrete and masonry can be
very corrosive and will ‘attack’ stainless steel. Ensure your
Lynx products are well protected before you allow the use
of such chemicals near your grill.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR LOCATIONS NEAR POOLS AND
COASTAL AREAS
The 304 stainless steel material used in the construction of
a Lynx Grill is highly rust resistant, however, chlorine in the
air from swimming pools or the salt from sea air may cause
surface rust to appear and even create some pitting if left
on the product.
Here are a few tips to avoid this:
•Regularly wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp
cloth. (Micro fiber cloths such as Ecloth perform very
well).
•Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do
not cover a damp grill.
•In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which
leaves a microscopic protective layer on the grill. Products
that provide a layer of vapor corrosion inhibitors (VpCI™)
protect the surface very well.
•For seasonal storage use the product referred to above,
ensure the grill is dry and then cover and secure the
cover to minimize the amount of damp air getting to the
surfaces.
THE LYNX LIMITED LIFE TIME 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.
After your first use certain areas of the grill may discolor
from the intense heat given off by the burners - this is nor-
mal and cannot be cleaned off.
For light and heavy food stains there are many different
stainless steel cleaners available.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the
grill is completely cool, remove the drip tray by pulling it
out until it stops, then lifting the front edge until the drip
tray comes free.
Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning
product and re-install. When using an oven-style clean-
ing product be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Many of these cleaners are toxic and can dam-
age the stainless steel finish if not used properly.
Also, check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill uncov-
ered, you may need to remove the drip tray drain plug to
drain the water from the tray. The drain plug can be re-
moved with a flat-head screwdriver.
