Griddle And Grill - Thermador PRDS304 Care & Use Manual

SECTION SIX: CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GRILL GRATE
The easiest way to clean the grill is
while it is warm (not hot) after
cooking is completed and after turning
off the flame. Wear a barbecue mitt
to protect your hand from the heat
and steam. Use a brass grill brush and
water on the grill grate in most
instances. For stubborn stains, use a
soap filled steel wool pad. Steam
created as the water contacts the
hot grill grate assists the cleaning
process by softening any food
particles, which will fall off and burn.
If the grill is allowed to cool before
cleaning, it will be more difficult.
OTHER GRILL PARTS
After the grill has cooled, remove the
grate, stainless steel radiant and
double U-shaped burner, heat
deflector, removable heat shield,
and drip pan.
Lift the double U-shaped burner
where it hooks to the brackets at the
rear of the box. (See Figure on Page
19.) Pull burner from the burner hole
to remove it from the gas connection.
The burner may be cleaned, if desired,
with a wire brush. All gas ports must
be free of blockage for safe operation.
Use a metal paper clip to remove
debris from port holes.
Lift out and wash the stainless steel
removable heat shield, and
grease drip pan. Use hot sudsy
water, rinse and dry.
Tape newspaper to cover the 2
black side trim rails next to the
grill on the porcelain maintop
and all griddle parts. Oven
cleaner will permanently
damage these parts so they need
to be covered. Spray cleaner using
short, controlled applications to
stainless surfaces only. Don't spray
directly inside hole for burner
connection or onto the spark igniter.
Wait 30 minutes to 1 hour. Wear
rubber gloves and wipe off cleaner;
rinse and dry. Apply again if necessary.

CAUTIONS:
1. Do not clean any part of

cleaning oven.
2. When disassembling or
reassembling the grill,
use extreme caution to
avoid contact with the
spark igniter. The
igniter could break,
preventing operation of
the grill.
3. Use caution when
cleaning around sharp
metal corners and
edges. Use of cleaning
