Care and maintenance

Infrared burner cleaning
After each use, it is necessary to burn the bottom infrared burner with the hood open for at least five
minutes to vaporize any food drippings or particles. Failure to perform this step will damage the burner. It
may occasionally be necessary to brush, blow, or vacuum accumulated ash from the burner surface. Do so
carefully and only when the burner is cool.
Protection of infrared burners
The burners of your grill are designed to provide a long life of satisfactory performance. However, there are
steps you must take to prevent cracking of the burner's ceramic surfaces, which will cause the burners to
malfunction. The following are the most common causes of cracks and the steps you must take to avoid them.
Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
Impact with hard objects
Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic.You should take particular care when inserting or removing
cooking grids and accessories into or from the grill. If objects such as these fall onto ceramic, it is likely to
crack the ceramic.
Impaired ventilation of hot air from grill
In order for the burners to function properly, hot air created by the burners must have a way to escape,
the burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing them to backfire, especially if the burner output is set
to "HIGH". If this occurs repeatedly, the burners may crack. This is the reason your grill was designed with
ventilation louvers. These design features give the hot air an escape route. Accordingly, never operate your
grill with very little or no open space at the cooking surface (the cooking grids provide sufficient space). Also,
never cover the ventilation louvers with foil or other materials that prevent air flow. Specifically, DO NOT
cover the entire surface with foil, a large pan, etc.
General maintenance

flammable vapors and liquids.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Keep the ventilation opening of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
• Visually check the burners.
