Cleaning Your Barbecue; Storing Your Barbecue; Safety Tips - Char-Broil SMART E 23651119 Product Manual

Cleaning your barbecue:

Excess build up of burned grease and food particles will reduce the
barbecue's cooking performance. To obtain optimum performance:
• Clean the reflector plate assembly and frame at least once a
season, more often with heavy use.
• Best results are obtained by brushing particle buildup downward
and through drain hole in bottom of barbecue.
• Using a mild detergent or hot soapy water, moderately scrub surface
of the reflector plate assembly with a plastic or brass bristle brush.
• Clean cooking grates regularly with warm soapy water or a baking
soda and water solution. Use non-abrasive scouring powder
for stubborn stains. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the
barbecue cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to barbecueing. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while barbecue is hot. Do not clean the
cooking grate with a scraper, sharp tool or putty knife.
• It is not recommended to clean the cooking grates in a dishwasher.

Storing your barbecue:

• Clean cooking grate.
• Store barbecue in weather protected area or under barbecue cover
when not in use.
• Always unplug your barbecue prior to storage.
