GRILL RACK
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the
flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in
tap water mixed with a small amount of vinegar and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of
water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles.
The food particles will fall and burn. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult.

steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To
touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the direction

BURNER CLEANING
Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any
clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.

blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened out.
ORIFICE CLEANING
With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the openings to ensure there is
no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle.
TO REASSEMBLE THE BURNERS:
Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice, and insert burner tabs in burner mounts
