CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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

CLEANING THE GRILL

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 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 to 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.
