we
suggest
you wash
your
grill using
a mild soap
and
warm
water
solution.
You can use a wash
cloth
or
sponge
for this process.
Do not use a stiff wire or
brass
brush.

will scratch
stainless
steel and
chip painted
surfaces
(varies
by model)
during
the
cleaning
process.
Cleaning
Exterior
Stainless
Steel
Surfaces:
Weathering
and extreme
heat
can cause
exterior
stainless
steel surfaces
to turn tan in color.
Machine
oils used
in the manufacturing
process
of stainless
steel can also cause
this tanning
color.
After remov-
ing any protective
PVC film from the Grill Lid and
Control
Panel
use a Stainless
Steel
Cleaner
to polish
the stainless
steel surfaces
of your grill. Never
use
abrasive
cleaners
or scrubbers
because
they will
scratch
and damage
your
grill. Follow
these
steps for
the best
results.
1. Turn the LP Gas tank valve (clockwise)
to the full
OFF position.
Disconnect
the regulator
and hose
assembly

attaching
the
