condition
and prolong
its life. Follow

with minimum
effort.

cleaning
your grill
Cleaning
The Cooking
Grates
Wash your
cooking grates
in a mild soap and
warm
water
solution.
You can use a wash cloth,
vegetable
brush,
or brass bristled
brush.
Never
use any type of steel bristled
brush.
Dry them
when finished.
Cleaning
the
Heat
Diffusers
Wash the heat diffusers
periodically
in a soap
and warm
water
solution.
Use a vegetable
brush
to remove
stubborn
burnt-on
cooking residue.
Dry the heat diffusers
thoroughly
before
you
reinstall
them
into the firebox.
Cleaning
the Grease
Tray
and Pan
To reduce
the chance of fire, the grease
tray and
grease

be visually
inspected
before
each grill
use. Remove
any grease
and wash
both with a mild soap and warm
water
solution.
Cleaning
the Inside
of the Grill
Lid
Grease
can have a tendency
to build up on the
inside of the grill lid and could drip onto the deck
or patio when the lid is opened.
Visually
inspect
the inside of the grill lid before
each grill use.
Remove
any grease
and wash with
a mild soap
and warm
water
solution.
Annual
Cleaning
of the
Grill
Interior
Burning-off
excess food after every
cookout
will
keep it ready for instant
use. We recommend
you
periodically
give the entire
grill a thorough
cleaning to minimize
your risk of grease
fire and
keep the grill in good shape.
