Cleaning The Grill - Jenn-Air D156 Use And Care Manual

Cleaning the Grill
Grill Grates: These are made from cast aluminum which have a nonstick finish.
• The grates should be cleaned after each use. They can be cleaned with detergent and
a plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or washed in the dishwasher if burned on residue is
first removed. For heavy soil, grates can be soaked in hot, soapy water to which a cleanser,
such as household ammonia, has been added.
• Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended to clean
outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch the grates. Do
not clean in the self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grates.
Grill-Rocks: These are made from cast-iron which have been coated with porcelain enamel.
• The grill-rocks should be cleaned frequently or after any excessive build-up of grease.
To clean light soil, use detergent and a plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or wash in
the dishwasher if burned on residue is first removed. For heavy soil, soak in hot, soapy
water to which a cleanser, such as household ammonia, has been added. Stubborn
spots on grill-rocks, such as burned on residue from sauces, can be scrubbed with
a stiff bristle brush.
• An oven cleaner, such as Easy-Oft, can be used for burned on soil. Follow manufacturer's
directions; spray on cleaner and let soak overnight. Do not clean grill-rocks in the self-
cleaning oven.
Grill Element: Follow instructions on page 12 for removing the grill element. The grill
element should never be immersed in water. Most soil will burn off during use. The terminal
block may be cleaned with warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleansers or materials.
Dry thoroughly before reinserting in the range.
Porcelain Grill llasin: This area, located under the grill-rocks, should be cleaned after
each heavy use of the grill.
• To remove light soil, clean area with soapy water or spray with cleansers such as 409
or Grease Relief. For easier clean-up, lay paper towels in grill basin, spray with a household
cleanser and soak for at least a half-hour or longer.
• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet, Bon Ami, a soft scrub cleanser or plastic
scrubber.
• To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven cleaner such as Easy-Off; let soak overnight,
wipe clean, rinse and dry.
Grease Container:
This container collects grease and other liq-
uids created while grilling or using some of the accessories; or spill- _.....
overs while using the conventional coil cartridge. Empty when grease
is noticeable through container window.
• Check the container periodically to prevent grease from spilling
over. If this should happen, the grease will flow over the front
of the container thus alerting you to empty the container. The
container is made from polypropylene and can be washed in
hot, soapy water. A few tablespoons of dishwashing liquid and
water added to a clean container will make it easier to empty
when full. May be washed in dishwasher.
• A metal drain tube leads from the right grill basin to the grease
container. To prevent tube from becoming clogged if the right
side of the range is used for most grilling, after grilling remove
food particles with a paper towel. Then, pour a cup of hot, soapy water through the drain
tube.
