Cleaning the Grill

To reduce risk of injury from laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling parts with sharp edges.

Drip Tray:

Remove the Drip Tray under the grill bowl after the grill has cooled completely. Scrape away food and fat residue
from the Drip Tray. Empty and wash the Drip Tray with hot soapy water and a cloth.

Grill Body:

Remove excess grease and/or fat with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive
cleaners that can scratch painted, porcelain-coated or stainless steel surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the
grease from the body. When grill is cool, wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth. On painted grills, if rust
appears, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool. Touch up bare metal with a high heat paint specified for
barbecue grills. Follow paint manufacturer's instructions for use.
Cooking Grid/ Warming Rack/ Flavor Activator:
Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive scouring
powder. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the plated, porcelain-coated or stainless
steel surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.
All Other Cleaning:
For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not immerse the Gas Controls
in water. (Avoid getting water in the Burner holes).
Burner:
Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the Burner clean with normal usage, provided the Burner is operating
correctly. Clean the Burner annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of
blockage (debris, insects) in the Burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the Burner. See How to Clean
the Burner.

How to Clean the Burners

1. Make sure the Regulator Knob is turned "Off", the grill is completely cooled and the propane cylinder is removed.
2. Carefully remove Cooking Grid and Flavor Activator.
3. To remove the Burner, first remove the Bolts that fasten the Burner to its support bracket.
4. Slide Tube burner to the left so that the end of the burner is off of the valve nozzle and inside the firebowl. Lift the venturi end
of the burner up first then slide the burner out from under the electrode.
5. Use a pipe cleaner to clear inset nests of debris from the inlet hole of Main Burner.
6. Open up the Burner holes with a small nail or wire. Use a non-metallic brush to remove food particles and corrosion from the
Burner surfaces.
7. Check the Electrode to see if it is loose. If so, tighten the screw holding the Electrode to maintain 3/16" gap between
Electrode tip and Burner. NOTE: Before next step, you may wish to clean the rest of the grill. See "Cleaning the Grill"
section.
8. After cleaning, refit the Burner. If the grill is to be stored, the Burners may be wrapped in a protective cover such as aluminum
foil or plastic wrap to help keep insects out. NOTE: When refitting the Burner, be sure the Burner is positioned correctly. The
valve nozzle should protrude inside the Venturi end of the Burner. Replace the Bolts that fasten the Burner Flange to the
burner bracket.
9. Perform a Leak Test and check Burner operation after re-assembly.
10. Replace Flavor Activator and Cooking Grid.
