CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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 at 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
- Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
- Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
- Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
- Visually check the burners.
GENERAL CLEANING
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the grill is cool. Always follow
label instructions on cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean
water and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
To avoid scratching the surface, do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
Use a vinyl grill cover to protect finish from weather.
