TO BREAK IN A NEW GRILL Before using it for the first time; operate the grill with lid closed on a low setting for about 15 minutes. This will help burn away oil and the smell of new paint. After the oil has burned away, check the burner flame.
Caring for Your Gas Grill COOKING TIPS Prior to lighting the grill, coat the cooking grids with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking. Preheat the grill with the lid closed about five to ten minutes before cooking. Cook with lid down when possible.
Cleaning and Maintenance Inspect and clean the burner regularly. Remove grill components from the grill bottom necessary to get to the burner inside. Use a wire bristle brush to clean the burner surface. A straightened paper clip is useful to remove debris from the small burner ports.
Long detachable power-supply cords or extension cords can also be used with care. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3 wire cord.
