Cleaning the Grill
Grill Grates: These are made from cast aluminum which are coated with the Excalibur®
nonstick finish.
• After the grill grates have cooled, wipe off grates with a paper towel. Wash cool grates
(DO NOT IMMERSE HOT GRILL GRATES IN WATER) with soap or detergent in hot
water in the sink or wash them in the dishwasher. Be sure to remove all food residue
before cooking on the grill grates again.
• Remove stubborn spots with a plastic mesh puff or pad. For best results, use only those
cleaning products which state they are recommended for use when cleaning nonstick
surfaces.
• If grates were washed in the dishwasher, season with oil prior to grilling.
• Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended to
clean outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch the grates.
Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grates.
Grill Burner: The grill burner should be cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned with
a soapy S,O.£, pad or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly before using again. For
heavy soil,b_urder should be cleaned first with a soapy S.O.S. pad, rinsed and dried. Then
it can be Clea_i_d in a self-clean oven for 2 hours.
Nole: Check to be sure all ports are open. To open clogged ports, insert a toothpick
directly into each port.
Porcelain Burner llasin: This area should be cleaned after each use of the grill.
• To remove light soil, clean area with soapy water or spray with cleansers such as 409
or Grease Relief. For easier clean-up, lay paper towels in grill basin, spray with a
household cleanser, and soak for at least a half-hour or longer.
• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet, Bon Ami, a soft scrub cleanser or plastic
scrubber.
• To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven cleaner such as Easy-Off; let soak overnight,
wipe clean, rinse and dry.
Grease Container: This container collects grease and other liq-
uids created while grilling or using some of the accessories; or spill-
overs while using the surface burner accessory. Empty when grease
is noticeable through container window.
• Check the container periodically to prevent grease from spilling
over. If this should happen, the grease will flow over the front
of the container thus alerting you to empty the container. The
container is made from polypropylene and can be washed in
hot, soapy water. A few tablespoons of dishwashing liquid and
water added to a clean container will make it easier to empty
when full. May be washed in dishwasher.
