Cleaning and Maintenance
Keeping outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and
free from comustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance
will keep your grill in top operating condition and
prolong its life. By following these cleaning procedures
on a timely basis, your grill will stay clean and work
properly with minimum effort.
CAUTION:
Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.
Cleaning The Cooking Grids
Before initial use and as needed, wash your Grids with
a mild detergent and rinse with hot water. For stubborn
food residue use a degreaser and fiber or brass
cleaning brush.
Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining
Tray, Grease Receptacle and Heat Shield should be
inspected before each grill use. Remove grease
(a plastic spatula works well) and wash Grease Tray
and Receptacle with a mild soap and warm water
solution.
Cleaning the Flame Tamers
To reduce the chance of flare-ups, Flame Tamers
should be cleaned whenever food or grease drippings
accumulate. Brush off Flame Tamers with a fiber type
brush and turn over to allow the burner heat to burn off
any stuborn food residue. The Ceramic Flame Tamers
work equally well on either side.
Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior
Use a fiber or brass cleaning brush to clean the interior
Grill Bowl, Cooking Grids, Flame Tamers and grease
containers. On porcelain finished parts never use a
wire brush or metal scraper which can scratch or chip
the porcelain finish and promote rusting.

Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Weathering and high heat can cause a stainless steel
grill Lid to turn tan in color. This is not to be confused
with rust and is not a product defect. Machine oils
used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel
as well as cooking oils and a dirty grill Lid can also
encourage discoloration if the Lid is not cleaned prior
to grill use.
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel
line from Gas Valve Manifold. Protect fuel line
fitting.
2. Use a Stainless Steel Cleaner and soft cloth to
remove residual adhesive and oils from the inside
and outside of your grill Lid. Never use abrasive
cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial
cleaning, routine cleaning to remove dirt, grease
and oils will help discourage Lid discoloration.
