Cleaning the Burners
Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make nests in the burner
tubes, obstructing the gas flow. Sometimes this results in a type of fire in and
around the gas tubes called a "flashback". To reduce the risk of a flashback,
follow the instructions below at least once a month or when your grill has not
been used for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT
All of the gas control knobs must be turned to the "OFF" position, the fuel
must be off and the fuel line disconnected.
1. Remove burners from grill by carefully lifting each burner up and away
from gas valve orifice.
2. Wire brush the outer surface of the burner to remove food residue and dirt.
Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire or an opened paper clip.
3. Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes). If any damage is found,
replace burner before use.
4. Upon reinstallation, inspect gas valve orifices for cleanliness and the
condition and location of igniters.
Care of Stainless Steel
Do NOT use wire wool pads, scrappers, harsh abrasive, scoring materials,
bleaches, or harsh cleaners on your cart or grill, or allow salt and vinegar
mixtures to remain in contact for a long period of time. This will cause
scratching, scoring, rusting and pitting.
We recommend that you clean stainless steel components with a cleaner
that is approved for stainless steel and only clean when the grill is cool and in
indirect light. Never use steel wool.
Hood and Body
Wipe the inside hood and body with detergent and hot water. The external
surfaces may be cleaned in the same fashion. Wipe all areas dry before
storing.
Storage
Please ensure that all units of the grill are clean before storing.
