Brinkmann S-80 - Manual (Page 13)

Proper Care &
Maintenance • Wash cooking grills, water and charcoal pans with hot, soapy water,
rinse well and dry. Lightly coat cooking grills with vegetable oil or
vegetable cooking spray.
• Clean inside and outside of smoker by wiping off with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable cooking
spray to the interior surface of the dome lid, smoker body, cooking
grills and water pan. This simple process will help reduce interior
rusting. DO NOT apply oil to the charcoal pan.
NOTE: Smoke will accumulate and leave a residue in the dome lid of
your smoker that may drip onto food during cooking. To minimize
accumulation of residue, wipe off dome lid after each use.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your smoker, clean and buff
the affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with
a good high-temperature resistant paint.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior
surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or
vegetable cooking spray to minimize rusting.
• Always keep your smoker covered when not in use to protect against
excessive rusting. The Smoke’N Grill cover may be ordered directly
from Brinkmann by calling 1-800-468-5252.
