Cleaning The Grill - Lynx L27F Installation Use And Care Manual

Cleaning the Grill
The best way to keep your grill
looking great is to use a cover,
supplied by Lynx, when the grill
is not in use. While stainless steel
is very durable, some care is
required to ensure the long life
of your grill.
STAINLESS STEEL
Your grill has a directional pol-
ished grain - any cleaning should
be carried out along this grain
and not across it.
The grill is made from non-rust-
ing and non-magnetic stainless
steel. After initial usage, areas
of the grill may discolor from
the intense heat given off by the
burners - this is normal. There
are many different stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use
the mildest cleaning procedure
first, scrubbing in the direction
of the grain. To touch up notice-
able scratches in the stainless
steel, sand very lightly (at your
own risk) with dry 100 grit emery
paper in the direction of the
grain. Specks of grease can gath-
er on the surfaces of the stainless
steel and bake on to the surface
and give the appearance of rust.
To aid removal, use a fine to
medium grit non-metallic abra-
sive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in
conjunction with a stainless steel
cleaner. Always rub in the direc-
tion of the grain.
The best maintenance for stain-
less steel is to wipe it down with
a damp cloth. This is especially
true if a swimming pool is locat-
ed near the grill, as prolonged
contact with chlorinated water
can pit the stainless steel. This
damage is not covered by your
warranty. Never use steel "Brillo"
pads or similar products as these
will leave traces of material
behind which will quickly rust
and is not a defect in the Grill.
GRILL RACKS
The easiest way to clean the grill
racks is to do so immediately
after cooking and turning off
the burners. Wearing a long BBQ
mitt to protect your hand from
steam, dip a brass bristle brush
in hot water and scrub the grill
rack. Dip the brush frequently
as the steam aids the cleaning
process. If grill is allowed to cool
before cleaning, cleaning will be
more difficult.
NEVER USEWATERTO CLEAN THE
GRILL RACK ABOVE A PROSEAR
BURNER. LIQUID FALLING ONTO
AN UNLIT PROSEARBURNER CAN
CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
THE GRILL RACK ABOVE THE
PROSEARWILL NORMALLY BURN
CLEAN DURING THE 5 MINUTE
CLEANING BURN AFTER USE. IF
GRILL RACK REQUIRES FURTHER
CLEANING, ALLOW TO COOL
AND REMOVE FROM GRILL.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned
after every use of the grill.
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESSGREASE
OR LIQUIDS TO ACCUMULATE
IN THE DRIP TRAY AS THIS MAY
CREATEA FIRE HAZARD.
Allow the grill to cool complete-
ly, then remove the drip tray by
pulling it out from the grill until
it stops, then lifting the front
edge until the drip tray comes
free. Clean with hot soapy water
or commercial cleaning product,
rinse, dry and reinstall in grill.
NEVER USE GRILL WITHOUT DRIP
TRAY PROPERLYINSTALLED.
BRIQU ETTE TRAYS
Although they normally burn
clean with use, it may occassion-
ally be necessary to clean the bri-
quette trays. After allowing the
grill to cool completely, remove
the grill racks, then remove the
briquette trays by lifting the
front edge and pulling toward
you. Set the trays upside-down
onto their mounting points, and
operate the grill burners on high
for 20-30 minutes to burn the
briquettes clean. If it becomes
necessary to replace any or all
the briquettes, replacements
are available from your dealer.
Replace briquettes following the
instructions on page 6.
WARNING
Always keep the area
surrounding the grill
free from all combus-
tible materials, liquids,
vapors, debris and ob-
structions. Maintain at
least 3"clearance around
grill for proper airflow.
