Cast Iron Grate Seasoning (if applicable)
First Use – Before first use, season cast iron grates as follows: Rinse cast
iron grates with hot water. Do not use soap. Dry grates thoroughly with
a cloth towel. Coat grates with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Place grates in grill. Start grill and slowly raise temperature to 350° -
400° F. Heat grates for one hour. Turn off grill and allow grates to cool
completely before using to cook.
Cleaning – Do not use soap when cleaning grates. Clean grates with a
stiff brush and hot water. Dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel.
Re-seasoning – Re-season grates when rust spots appear on grate
surface. When re-seasoning grates, soap may be used with hot water
to clean grates. After cleaning, dry grates thoroughly with a cloth towel.

General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely
air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
