Question: What causes grill parts to rust and what effect does it have on the grill materials?
Answer: Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not
affect the short-term performance of your grill. However, weathering and extreme heat can cause a stainless
steel lid to turn a bronze color. This is discoloration, not rust, and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Question: What causes my stainless steel grill lid to discolor and how do I clean my grill lid?
Answer: Smoke, weathering and high heat can cause a stainless steel grill lid to turn bronze in color. This is
not to be confused with rust and is not a product defect. Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of
stainless steel as well as cooking oils and a dirty grill lid can also encourage discoloration if the lid is not
cleaned prior to grill use. After your grill is assembled, remove the protective PVC film from your grill lid and
use a stainless steel cleaner and soft cloth to remove residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside of
your grill lid. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial cleaning, routine cleaning to
remove dirt, grease and oils will help discourage lid discoloration.
