Rust Removal
It is a common misconception that stainless steel does not rust. It does
not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it stains less),
but it is not stain-proof. If not properly protected and maintained, it
can corrode, pit, and discolor.
Important
Because salt will accelerate rust and corrosion, Power
Burner owners who live near the beach need to be dili-
gent in maintaining their stainless steel hardware. You
need to clean and polish your stainless steel frequently,
apply a protectant, and ensure water does not collect
and puddle.
Periodically clean exterior stainless steel surfaces with WD-40 or Sheila
Shine and wipe down with a dry cloth or paper towel until surface is
free of rust. If there is signicant rust or corrosion, use a Scotch-Brite
scrubber.
Both of these products will act as a surface protectant and help resist
smudges, stains, and rust.
Caution
Although nitric acid (also called aqua fortis) can be effec-
tive for rust removal, it is a highly corrosive chemical. Be-
cause of the potential for injury or damage to your stain-
less steel, we do not recommend using nitric acid.
Burners
Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make nests in the
burner tubes, obstructing the gas ow. Sometimes this results in a
type of re in and around the gas tubes called “ashback”. To reduce
the risk of ashback, this procedure should be followed at least once a
month or when your Power Burner has not been used for an extended
period of time.
IMPORTANT: Prior to starting this procedure, turn OFF all of the gas
control knobs, shut off the fuel supply, and disconnect the fuel line.
The burners can be removed by removing the keeper pins and lifting
them out. The keeper pins are located under the Power Burner toward
the back. They are used to keep the burners in place during shipping
and are not necessary to operate the Power Burner. Remove burners
