A WORD ABOUT STAINLESS STEEL
Exterior Stainless Steel Components:
As we stated in “A Word about Stainless Steel” , Stainless Steel is not totally impervious to rust or corrosion. Some
basic steps are necessary to maintain the shine and appearance. We recommend that you clean the grill after each
use. Use a mild soap or products specifically designed for cleaning stainless steel with a soft cloth or sponge on the
exterior stainless steel. Rinse with fresh water and wipe the stainless dry when finished. We also recommend that
between uses, you cover the grill (Optional acrylic dyed custom covers are available through your retailer or directly
from Magma).
Interior Stainless Steel Components:
Interior stainless steel components (firepan, radiant plate and dome, and burner) are subject to high temperatures,
grease and food residue. The exposure to high heat will cause the interior stainless steel components to first blue, then
brown. This is not a failure of the stainless steel and will not affect the operation of the product.
We recommend a thorough cleaning after each use. Disassemble the interior components and remove any food
residue. A “Scothbrite” pad or similar product may be used in this process. For heavier burned-on stains we
recommend “Easy-Off Oven & Grill Cleaner”.
Igniter Electrode:
The igniter electrode located just beside the burner should be kept clean of all debris and grease. The ceramic
insulation and spark electrode should not, however, be damaged in this process. Although sturdy in its construction,
care should be given to the cleaning of this component. Wipe it clean with a soft cloth to remove grease and food
debris.
Grill Grate:
We recommend that you clean the grill grate with a brass wire brush while the grill is still warm after each use. The
grill grate can then be washed by hand or in your dishwasher as required.
Hoses:
Hoses should be checked prior to each use of the product. Please see the section on checking your hoses on page 7.
Control Valve:
The valve on your Del Mar Grill was adjusted, set and tested at the factory. You should not attempt to adjust the
valve. Call the factory if you suspect that your valve is not properly adjusted. Always follow safety recommendation.
MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL
Stainless Steel, contrary to popular belief, can rust. Most commonly, deposits on the surface of the
product will trap moisture. It is this moisture that robs the stainless steel of oxygen. Oxygen is the
element that reacts with the stainless steel to form a protective layer of chrome oxide. Robbed of oxygen
this reaction does not take place and “crevice corrosion”, or “surface rusting”, occurs. To minimize this
effect, thoroughly clean your barbeque grill with products specifically designed to clean stainless steel.
Additionally, stainless steel that is exposed to high heat for prolonged periods will change in color
and texture over time. The radiant plate and dome, used to distribute heat evenly across the grill, does
so by deflecting high heat over a large
surface area. This prolong exposure to high temperature will cause the plate and dome to change color.
This “blueing” and later “browning” is normal and will not affect the product operation.
