Cleaning the Grill
T
o prevent injury, use care when cleaning a hot grill.
Buy a good grill brush. Inexpensive grill brushes tend to lose
their metal bristles, which can stick to your cooking grids and
become embedded in foods.
A grill builds up a patina of smoke residue. This "seasoning" is
normal and actually enhances the flavor of your foods. If the
build-up grows too thick, it can flake off and fall onto your food.
To remove excess build-up, let the grill cool completely and then
brush thoroughly with a high-quality grill brush.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grid.
For baked-on residue use a grill brush on the cooking grid
and other components.
Grids and Drip Pan
The grids are made of high quality stainless steel and should
be cleaned with a brass or stainless steel brush while the grill
is still warm.
The drip pan is made of high quality stainless steel as well and
can be cleaned with a scraping tool. The pan must be kept clean
of heavy build-up for the grill to perform properly and to reduce
flare-ups. Clean as needed or approximately every 10 uses.
Burn Off
This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and
is most efficient when completed after each use of the grill.
D
o not open the grill during the burn off process.
Opening the grill during the burn off process may cause
a sudden grease fire flare up that could burn your face
and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.
1. Turn gas knob to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to burn for
ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do not allow the
grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.
2. Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill to cool.
3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
CAUTION
Grill Bottom
Once or twice a year remove cooking grids and drip pan to clean
the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with a putty
knife or brass brush and rinse with water.
Burner Maintenance
Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use. This
does not effect the performance of the grill. When cleaning the
interior of the grill, remove the burners and clean with a brush.
Wash with water and a mild detergent.
Grease Cup
Empty periodically.
Drain Pipe and Valve
Keep Drain pipe and valve clear of grease and food particles to
allow the grease to drain properly. To clear the drain pipe and
valve, run a flexible drain brush through them. (See DPA22)
Bucket
Store the bucket under the grill lid when the grill is not in use.
Empty the drip bucket after each use.
Heat Indicator
Clean any build-up from indicator probe once a season to prevent
loss of accuracy.
