Care and Cleaning
CLEANING THE GRILL

Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage.
To prolong the life and condition of your grill, the portable unit should not be
stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
• Do not clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the
finish.
• Do not immerse the burner in water. Make sure any water is removed from the burner.
• Never use oven cleaner, steel wool or other abrasive cleaning products on the painted
and nonstick surfaces. These will cause damage to the finish or parts.
How to Clean the Grill
1. After grill has cooled, empty and clean the grease tray in hot soapy water.
2. Remove excess grease and drippings from the grill bowl with a soft plastic or wooden
scraper. If necessary, use a nylon bristle brush to loosen hardened food particles.
Wash the cooking surface in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
3. Wash exterior parts with a soft sponge and warm soapy water. Non-abrasive
cleansers may be used. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

BURNER MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
