Your Genie Stove is stainless steel. That means, if it is kept clean, dry and in a well ventilated place it will not rust.  If it is kept in damp places and is damp when stored, it will show signs of rust.  You should treat your Genie Stove like any piece of stainless steel that you wish to keep for a long time.  Clean it, and keep it in a dry place and it will serve you for many years to come without rusting. In many cases we find when customers think their Genie Stove is rusting, it is not.  It is simply red/brown fire dust from their stove.  When wiped with oil it cleans off and is revealed as fire dust rather than any corrosion.
