TURNING OFF YOUR GRILL

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

THERE IS VERY LITTLE CARE AND MAINTENANCE NEEDED.
The tabletop grill is designed and made of materials that will last many years with normal use. Following these instructions
will improve the longevity of the grill and quality of cooking. 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 vapors or liquids.
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS: Stainless steel is very durable if regularly cleaned and washed with fresh water. Stainless steel will
rust if not frequently cleaned. Rust from neglect is not warranted. There are many different stainless-steel cleaners available.
Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch
the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the
direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give
the appearance of rust. For removal, use a mild abrasive pad in conjunction with a stainless-steel cleaner.
COOKING GRID AND GREASE TRAY: The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after
turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Take care to avoid burns especially
from steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water.
Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. If the grill is allowed
to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult. Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing with clean, warm water.
CAUTION: The grease tray must be kept clean and free of heavy buildup for the grill to perform properly and to eliminate
flare-ups.
SPIDER WEB INSPECTION
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS AND OTHER INSECTS
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into the burner tube. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow
of gas, causing an unsafe situation. Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling
season or after a period of one month not being used.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
1. Gas can be smelled in conjunction with burner flames appearing yellow.
2. The grill does not reach temperature.
3. The grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
