Rust forming on interior surfaces, grates, or fire pot.

Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool and unplugged before cleaning.

• Step 1 – Remove loose rust: Use a grill brush or fine steel wool to remove surface rust from grates and interior metal.
• Step 2 – Clean and dry: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
• Step 3 – Reseason grates: Apply a thin coat of high‑smoke‑point cooking oil to grates and run the grill at 350°F for 30–45 minutes.
• Step 4 – Touch up paint: For exterior rust, sand lightly and apply high‑temperature grill paint compatible with ASMOKE finishes.
• Step 5 – Store properly: Use a grill cover and empty ash after cooks to reduce moisture retention.
