PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Routine care
Grill fires are common when grease and food debris collect in the bottom of the grill. Periodic cleaning of the grill bottom and
grill burner radiant is needed to prevent grease fires. A common misconception is to clean your grill by the "burn off"
method. Never clean your grill by the "burn off" method. The "burn off" method consists of turning the grill on High and
letting the heat of the grill "burn off" the grease. Your grill is extremely hot after cooking and burning it off will often produce a
grill fire because of the extremely hot grease in the grill bottom. Once your grill has cooled down, but is still warm, take your
Grate Cleaner or Grill Brush and clean off any remaining food particles. It is much easier to clean off food particles while
warmth is still present and not after they have cooled and been allowed to harden on the grate. Preheat your grill as normal
on your next grilling occasion.
Preventing burner venturi fires. A visual indication of a burner venturi fire is fire coming out from underneath the control
panel or melted control knobs. These usually happen when spiders or other insects build nests inside burners. The burners
have to be removed periodically and cleaned inside to remove the spider nests.
