Cleaning new grill stainless

[mohctp]

What do you guys use to clean a new grill?  Want to make sure they are clean and residue free from manufacturing.  Specifically the stainless parts, rotisserie spit, etc.

Hot soapy water is proving to be my go-to cleaner.   Works well for soaking the grates once they have cooled down.  

I have to admit that I didn't clean any of my grates before I started cooking the first time.  It all looked so fresh and clean and I expected the heat to burn off any germs.

for all of the cookers I have brought on board, I just fired 'em up and cooked.

Magic eraser and Zep Fast 505 for the exterior bits (tile too). PBW for interior cooking surfaces, rods, etc.

I put all the stainless in the dishwasher.

I wiped the outside and inside with some mild soapy water. Then wiped down with a damp cloth. 

Australian customs require that goods be fumigated so I didn't want to risk nasty chemicals being on the grills etc.... That all said, the burn in would have killed off all the germs anyway. 

Have fun!

Thanks. I went ahead and blew the inside out with a leaf blower to get rid of all the dust.  Just turned it on trying to figure out how to get it to stabilize at 550 now for the initial burn in.
