Proper care and maintenance
will keep your grill in good
operating
condition
and prolong
its life. Follow these
cleaning
procedures
on a timely
basis and your grill will
stay clean and operate
with minimum
effort.
CAUTION:
Be sure your grill is off and cool before
cleaning,
and always
wear protective
gloves when
cleaning
your grill.
Cleaning The Cooking Grates
Wash your cooking
grates
in a mild soap and
warm water
solution.
You can use a wash cloth,
vegetable
brush,
or brass bristled
brush.
Never use any type of steel bristled
brush.
Dry
them when finished.
Cleaning
the Heat
Diffusers
Wash the heat diffusers
periodically
in a soap and
warm water solution.
Use a vegetable
brush to remove
stubborn
burnt-on
cooking
residue.
Dry the heat
diffusers
thoroughly
before you reinstall
them
into the
firebox.
Cleaning
the
Grease
Tray
and Pan
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease tray and
grease pan should
be visually
inspected
before each
grill use. Remove any grease and wash both with a mild
soap and warm water
solution.
Cleaning
the Inside
of the Grill Lid
Grease can have a tendency
to build up on the inside of
the grill lid and could drip onto the deck or patio when
the lid is opened.
Visually
inspect the inside of the grill
lid before each grill use. Remove any grease
and wash
with a mild soap and warm water
solution.
Annual
Cleaning
of the Grill Interior
Burning-off
excess food after every cookout
will keep it
ready for instant
use. We recommend
you periodically
give the entire
grill a thorough
cleaning
to minimize
your risk of grease fire and keep the grill in good shape.

1.
Turn all burner
valves to the "OFF" position.
