Cleaning And Maintenance - Kenmore 720-0830S Use & Care Manual

Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure a proper working unit the following proper care
and maintenance is suggested.
Cleaning Cooking Grids
We suggest you wash your cooking grids in a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or soft brush
to clean your cooking grids.
Cleaning Heat diffusers
Periodically you should wash the heat diffusers in a soap and
warm water solution. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn
burnt-on cooking residue. The heat diffusers should be dry
before you reinstall them.
Grease Tray and Cup:
Regularly clean the grease drippings from the Grease Tray
and Grease Cup.
When the grill has completely cooled down after use, remove
the cup from the tray and slide the tray out of the grill. Clean
the grease drippings from the cup and tray surfaces by
washing with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and
warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Slide the tray back into the grill and replace the cup back into
the tray before using the grill again.
Annual Cleaning of Grill Interior
Burning-off the grill after every use will keep it ready for your
next use. However, once a year you should give the entire
grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition.
Follow these steps.
1. Turn all burner valves to full OFF position.
2. Turn LP gas tank valve to full OFF position.
3. Detach LP gas hose and pressure regulator assembly
from your gas grill. Inspect for any damage and replace as
necessary with manufacturer replacement part number found
on parts list.
4. Remove and clean heat diffusers, cooking grids and grill
burners.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush inside and bottom of grill with a nylon brush, and
wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse
thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove the aluminum foil, then reinstall heat diffusers,
and cooking grids.
8. Reconnect gas source and observe burner flame for
correct operation.

Cleaning Exterior Surface
We suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and warm water
solution. You can use a wash cloth or sponge for this process. Do not
use abrasives or a brush that might remove finish during the cleaning
process.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces
Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior stainless steel
surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine oils used in manufacturing
process of stainless steel can also cause this tanning color. Use a
stainless steel cleaner to polish stainless steel surfaces of your grill.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch
and damage your grill.
Cleaning Burner Tubes and Burner Ports
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" the procedure below should
be followed at least once a month in late summer or early fall when
spiders are most active or when your grill has not been used for a
period of time.
1. Turn all burner valves and gas tank valve to off position.
2. Detach the LP gas pressure regulator assembly from your gas grill.
3. Remove cooking grids, heat diffusers, and grease tray from the grill.
4. Remove the cotter pin from the burner and lift the burners up and
away from the gas valve orifice.
5. Using a bent stiff wire in the shape of a hook , air hose or a bottle
brush, run it through the burner tube and inside several times to
remove any debris.
6. Replace burners:
Step 1. Place the opening at the front end of the cleaned (or new)
burner over the main burner gas valve. Make sure the orifice stud (C1)
of the gas valve is inside the burner opening (D1) as shown in C
below.
Step 2. Lower the back end of the burner onto the burner ledge at the
back of firebox. See A below.
Step 3. Slide the burner back end over the attachment tab on the
burner ledge. Use cotter pin to secure burner back end in place. See B
