CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Stainless Steel
There are many stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning process first, scrubbing in
the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches
in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit sand paper in the direction of the grain.
Grease specks can gather and bake onto the surfaces of the stainless steel, giving the appearance of rust. For
removal, use an abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner.
Cooking Grates
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and the flames have been turned off.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from heat and steam.
Scrub the hot cooking grates by dipping a bristled barbeque brush in tap water. Cleaning will be more difficult if
the grill is allowed to cool.
Grease Pan
The grease pan should be emptied, wiped down and washed after each use with a mild detergent and warm
water solution. Check the grease pan frequently and do not allow excess grease to accumulate and flow out of
the grease pan.
Searing Side Burner
Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear any clogged burner ports with a straightened paper clip.
Never enlarge the burner ports. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
Grill Burners
Extreme care should be taken when removing a burner. It must be correctly centered on the orifice before any
attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on how often you use the grill.
Failure to properly place the burner over the orifice could cause a fire to occur behind and beneath the valve
panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
Before cleaning, make sure the gas supply and control knobs are in the "OFF" position and the burners have
cooled.
To remove the main burners for cleaning:
1. Locate the burner screw at the rear of the firebox.
2. Remove the screw and lift the burner out of the firebox.
To clean the grill burners:
1. Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Use a metal
scraper for stubborn stains or debris.
2. Clear clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a
wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
3. Check and clean burners / venturi tubes for insects and insect
nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath, and behind the
main control panel.
To reinstall the main burners:
1. Insert the burner over the main burner gas valve (Part# 22 on
27).
2. Make sure the orifice spud is inside the burner venturi as shown in
Fig. 17.
3. Align the burner screw hole with the firebox hole, insert screw and
tighten.
CAUTION
1. Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Do not obstruct the flow of combustible and ventilation air.
3. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the enclosure free and clear from debris.
