Grill Grates; Grill Rocks - GE JP380 Use And Care & Installation Manual

CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)

Grill Grates

These are made from cast aluminum and have a non-
stick finish.
The grates should be cleaned after each use.
They can be cleaned with detergent and a plastic
scrubber, such as Tuffy, or washed in the dishwasher
if burned-on residue is first removed. For heavy soil,
grates can be soaked in hot, soapy water mixed with
household ammonia.
Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring
pads or other scrubbers intended to clean outdoor
grills. These will remove the finish as well as
scratch the grates. Do not clean in a 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 or wash in the dishwasher after 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
brush.
An oven cleaner can be used for burned on soil.
Follow manufacturer's directions; spray on cleaner
and let soak overnight.
Do not clean grill-rocks in a self-cleaning oven.
Porcelain Grill Basin
This area, located under the grill-rocks, should be
cleaned after each heavy use of the grill. The grill
element must be lifted during the cleaning process.
To remove light soil, clean with soapy water or with
a cleaner such as 409. For easier cleanup, soak paper
towels in a household cleanser, lay in the burner
basin 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.
Let soak overnight. Wipe clean. Rinse and dry.
