Care, Maintenance and Cleaning

DRIP TRAY
The drip tray is located below the grill and should be cleaned
periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris (Fig. 28).
NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement
weather unless it is covered (cover sold separately). Rain
water can collect inside of the grill, or in the drip tray if left
uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the
grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing
grease and water to spill. We recommend cleaning and
storing the drip tray after every use.

COOKING GRATES
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is
completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue mitt and
scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to
cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the
grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense
heat given off by the burners, this is normal and not considered
a defect.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of
the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather on the surface
of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn
appearance. For removal, use an non-abrasive oven cleaner in
conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the
grill is cool & with the fuel supply turned off at the cylinder.
Disposable propane cylinders should be detached from the
grill during cleaning.

hot water. Remove stubborn residue with a mild cleanser or
