Care And Maintenance - Black & Decker Signature 6500 Series Manual

5-burner split lid lp gas grill

Table of Contents

Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.

Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial

and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the

finish.

Cleaning

Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up. Clean the grill before

and after cooking is recommended.
