Easy care: clean with mild soap and water, wipe stainless dry, and cover appliances when idle. A coastal rinse keeps salt off the steel.
Regular care
- Wash surfaces with soapy water after heavy use.
- Dry stainless to avoid water spots and staining.
- Clear grease from the grill zone often.
Seasonal
- Cover the island in off-season or long closure.
- Rinse monthly in salty or poolside air.
Avoid steel wool and harsh solvents that scratch the coating.
