Rust forming on interior surfaces, grates, or firebox components.

Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool before cleaning or applying coatings.

• Remove surface rust: Use a grill brush or fine steel wool to remove light rust from grates and interior surfaces.
• Season grates: Apply a thin coat of high-smoke-point cooking oil to grates and heat to season and protect.
• Touch up paint: For exterior rust, sand lightly and apply high-temperature grill paint approved by GMG.
• Improve storage: Use a GMG grill cover and avoid leaving water in the drip tray or bottom of the grill.
• Replace severely rusted parts: Replace heavily corroded grates, firepot, or heat shields with OEM GMG parts.
