Do not clean any part of your
barbecue
grill in a
self-cleaning
oven.
Do not use oven cleaners,
abrasive
kitchen
cleaners,
cleaners
that
contain
citrus
products,
or
mineral
spirits.
Do not use any type of steel bristled

Clean your

to prohibit
grease
build-
ups and avoid a grease
fire or excessive
flare-ups.

Stainless
Steel
and Painted
Surfaces
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm
water,
A cloth,
soft brush,

cleaning
pad can be used.
Rinse
thoroughly
and wipe dry. There
are many specific
stainless
steel cleaners
available.
Follow the
manufacturer's
directions.
Always
polish in the
direction
of the lines. Do not allow dirt and grease
to
accumulate.
Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch
the surface.
In addition,
the following
products
and naturally
occurring
substances
in the outdoors
will damage
all
stainless
steel finishes.
Use caution
so that they
do
not come
in contact
with
your gas grill. Immediately
wash them off and dry the stainless
steel should
they
ever come
in contact
with
your Gas Grill. These
include,
but are not limited
to, Pool Chemicals
(chlorine
and bromine),
Lawn Fertilizer,
Ice Melting
Salts, Sea or Salt Water,
Urine,
Bird Droppings,
and
Tree Sap. Store
your
grill 50 to 100 feet
away
from
a pool as many
pool chemicals
will
cause
rust.
Porcelain

soda and water
solution

for stubborn
stains.
Cooking

Electronic
Ignition
Maintenance
Your grill is equipped
with
electronic
ignition.
It's
powered
by one AAA size battery.
Replace the
battery
when
necessary.
Unscrew
the igniter
top.
Place the new battery
into the igniter
with the
positive
(+) end of the battery
facing

23
Batteries
will deteriorate
over time.
This
can cause their
casings
to leak.
Remove
the battery
from the electronic
ignition
when storing
your grill.
Check the condition
of the battery
periodically
before
use.
Burners
We recommend
you clean your
burners
at least twice
a year, or before
use if the grill has not been used in
over one month.
For safe operation
ensure
the gas valve assembly
orifice
is inside the burner
tube
before
using your
grill.
See figure.
If the orifice
is not inside the
burner
tube,
lighting
the burner
may cause
explosion
and/or
fire resulting
in serious
bodily
injury
and/or
property
damage.
Gas Valve Assembly
Burner Tube
Small
insects
and spiders
are able to access the
burner
tubes.
Sometimes
they will build nests or spit
webs.
In either
case, this can block or reduce
the
amount
of gas flowing
through
the burner,
You will
usually
see a smaller
flame,
or a flame
that
is mostly
yellow
rather
than
blue, coming
from the burner
when this happens.
Other
signs include
the gill not
heating
evenly,
not reaching
temperature,
or burners
not igniting.
In cases with severe
blockage,
this can
cause the flame
to burn backwards,
and outside
of
the burner
tubes,
which
can cause damage
to your
grill and/or
personal
injury.
IMMEDIATELY
SHUT
OFF THE FLOW
OF LP GAS AT THE CYLINDER
BY
TURNING
THE HAND
WHEEL
CLOCKWISE
SHOULD
THIS
HAPPEN.
Wait for the grill to cool,
and then clean all burners.
