Care and Maintenance

DRIP TRAY
The drip tray located below the grill, inside the cart, should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy
buildup of debris.
Note: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover
sold separately). Rain water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left
uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip
tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We recommend
cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.
COOKING GRATES
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off
the grill. Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is
allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with
a mild detergent.
STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners,
this is normal.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of
grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn
appearance. For removal, use an non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
Note: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Note: Always keep your grill covered when not in use.
IGNITER ACCESS
(UNDER SIDE BURNER SHELF)
To remove igniter, unscrew igniter push button and
locking nut from front panel of the side burner and
igniter will fall out through the bottom
REAR INFRARED BURNER
Light and burn the rear infrared burner at least once a month to ensure there is not a build-up of debris or grease on the
burner. This will ensure the ceramic burner will continue to operate as it should.
PORCELAIN PARTS
Certain parts of your Grill have a porcelain coating. Porcelain is a glass-based product, and is highly
durable to standard wear and tear. However, porcelain is sensitive to concussive blows, which can
create interlaced micro-fractures, or " spider-webs." Please take care not to strike any porcelain
covered parts with solid objects, drop them, or create any other concussive blows. These interlaced
micro-fractures are common and may lead to minor chipping. Neither the chipping nor the interlaced
micro-fractures will adversely affect the performance or your grill, and are not covered under the
warranty for porcelain parts.
