Cleaning and Maintenance To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully.

In addition, keep the area around your grill clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Clean the grill interior While the burners are out of the grill, you can use this opportunity to clean the interior of your grill thor- oughly. You should still have the drip pan in place to catch water and grime as you clean the grill interior. When the grill interior is clean, remove the drip pan.
WARNING: Never touch halogen bulbs with your bare fingers. Use a tissue or a small piece of paper to handle bulbs. Oils from your hands will damage halogen bulbs. Cal Flame grills use two different types of light housings. These instructions describe how to change the bulb in both types.
