Spring is officially here — and with it comes sunshine, longer days, and the undeniable craving for all things grilled. Before you dive into burgers, veggies, and seafood, it’s the perfect time to give your Kenyon grill a little TLC.

Here’s how to get your grill sparkling clean and ready for the season ahead:

Polish Up That Shine

.

Your Kenyon grill is made from durable 304-grade stainless steel, designed to last for years of incredible meals and memories. Even with its passivated surface for extra protection, a little spring cleaning keeps it looking (and working) its best.

When cleaning stainless steel:

• Avoid harsh cleaners like bleach, chlorine-based sprays, oven cleaners, and heavy-duty degreasers — they can break down the protective layer and cause damage.
• Skip abrasive tools like steel wool that can scratch the surface and lead to rust.
• Best practice: Clean with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn spots, Cerama Bryte Stainless Steel Polish restores shine and leaves behind a streak-free, protective finish.

Pro Tip: Always wipe with the grain of the stainless steel to maintain that sleek, flawless look!

Grate and Griddle Care

.

Your Kenyon grate and griddle are naturally non-stick — no extra butter or oil needed for most foods! (In fact, using too much oil can cause unnecessary smoke.)

Here’s how to keep them in top condition:

• After grilling, while the surface is still warm (but not too hot!), use a wet paper towel and a pair of tongs to wipe away any leftover food or marinade.
• If the grill has cooled, preheat on medium heat for a few minutes, then use the wet paper towel method.
• Deep clean: Place the cooled grate or griddle in the dishwasher occasionally to loosen and remove tougher residue.

Important:
Use only high-temperature nylon or silicone utensils when cooking. Metal utensils and wire brushes can damage the non-stick coating, and damages caused by improper utensils aren’t covered under warranty.

.

Reminder:

• Avoid preheating for longer than 10 minutes without food on the grill to reduce the risk of smoke caused by an empty drip tray.
• If the non-stick coating eventually begins to fade (which is normal over time), lightly oiling before cooking can help — just expect a little extra smoke.
