General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the
grill is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or
sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth
to avoid spots and streaks.
Do not use steel wool to clean the grill, as it will scratch the surface.
To avoid weather damage to finish, use vinyl grill cover. See
"Assistance" section to order.
STAINLESS STEEL
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use
soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, cooktop polishing creme,
steel wool, gritty washcloths or paper towels.
Cleaners should not contain chlorine. Damage may occur.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire grill is cool. Spills may
cause permanent discoloration.
Cleaning Method:
Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the
surface.
Stainless steel cleaner
Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
Vinegar to remove hard water spots.
Glass cleaner to remove fingerprints.
GRILL GRATES
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to grill grates, do not use a steel or
fiber scraper. Immediately after you are finished cooking, loosen food
soil with a brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to HI for 10-15 minutes
with the hood closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise the
hood and let grates cool. Use the brass bristle brush to remove ash from
the grill grates.
When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough
cleaning. Clean them with a mild detergent and warm water.

OUTDOOR GRILL CARE

For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 mL) ammonia to 1
gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse with water and
dry completely.
WARMING SHELF
Cleaning Method:
Liquid detergent or an all-purpose cleaner.

water.
Wipe the surface completely dry with a soft cloth.

INTERIOR
Discoloration of stainless steel on these parts is to be expected, due to
intense heat from the burners. Always rub in the direction of the grain.
