Care and Maintenance

To ensure safe operation of your grill, the area of cooking should always be kept free of combustible
materials of any type, such as gasoline or other flammable vapours or liquids. Ensure that the flow of
combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
External Grill Parts - These are stainless steel. These can be cleaned easily with warm soapy water or
any stainless steel cleaner.
Cooking Grid and Grease Tray – The cooking grid is made of cast iron. Food residue should be scraped
off the cooking grid. The cooking grid can also be removed and washed with warm, soapy water. The
grease tray is stainless steel and can be cleaned with a flat scraper such as a putty knife.
CAUTION
The grease tray must be kept clean and free of heavy buildup for the grill to perform properly and
to eliminate flare-ups.
Grill Main Burners - Extreme care should be taken when removing a burner. It must be correctly
centred on the orifice before any attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on how often you use the grill.
• Failure to properly place the burner over the orifice could cause a fire to occur behind and beneath
the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
• Before cleaning, make sure the gas supply and control knobs are in the "OFF" position and the
burners have cooled.
To remove the main burners for cleaning:
1. Locate the burner pin at the rear of the firebox.
2. Remove the pin and lift the burner out of the firebox.
To clean the grill burners:
1. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Use a metal scraper for stubborn stains or debris.
2. Clear clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off
and clog the port.
3. Check and clean burners/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath and behind the main control panel.
To reinstall the main burners:
1. Insert the burner over the main burner gas valve.
2. Make sure the orifice spud is inside the burner venturi as shown.
3. Align the burner screw hole with the firebox hole, insert screw
and tighten.
