Cleaning The Grill - Lynx l27 Installation, Care & Use Manual

Cleaning the Gri
The best way to keep your grill
looking great is to use a cover,
manufactured 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 stain-
less steel cleaners available.
Always use the mildest cleaning
procedure first, scrubbing in the
direction of the grain. Specks of
grease can gather on the sur-
faces 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 abrasive pad
(Scotch Brite is good) in conjunc-
tion with a stainless steel cleaner.
Always rub in the direction 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 is necessary
to clean the briquette trays on
occasion. After allowing the grill
to cool completely, remove the
grill racks, then remove the bri-
quette trays by lifting the front
edge and pulling toward you.
Set the trays upside-down onto
their mounting points, and oper-
ate 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.
