Care and Maintenance

IMPORTANT
Always allow your grill to completely cool off before covering it to prevent corrosion from condensation
Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control
dial and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will
damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
Recommended cleaning materials -
Mild dishwashing liquid detergent
Nylon cleaning pad
Paper clip
Compressed air
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.
Outside surfaces
Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution to clean. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Inside surface
If the inside surface of the grill lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked on grease has turned to carbon and is flaking
off. Clean thoroughly with a strong solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse with water and allow it to completely dry.
Interior of grill bottom – Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with a dishwashing detergent and
hot water solution. Rinse with water and let dry.
Cooking Grids – The porcelain grates have a glass-like composition that should be handled with care. Use a nylon cleaning
pad or brush and a mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non-abrasive scouring powder can
be used on stubborn stains. Rinse with water.
Heat Plates – Clean residue with wire brush and wash with soapy water. Rinse with water.
Grease Cup – Periodically empty the grease cup and clean with a dishwashing detergent and hot water solution.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
1. Turn gas off at the control knobs and propane tank.
2. Remove cooking grids and heat plate.
3. Remove grease cup.
4. Remove burner by unscrewing nut from beneath burner "foot" using a screwdriver and pliers.
5. Lift burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
6. Clean inlet (venturi) of burner with small bottle brush or compressed air.
7. Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of burner surface.
8. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip).
9. Inspect burner for damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Reinstall burner. Check to
ensure the gas valve orifices are correctly positioned, pointing straight into burner inlet (venturi). Also, check position of
spark electrode.
