Exploded DrawingCleaning and Maintenance
Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapours and liquids. As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep your Outdoor
Cooking Centre in top operating condition and prolong its life. By following these cleaning procedures on a
timely basis, your Outdoor Cooking Centre will stay clean and work properly with minimum effort.
CAUTION: Be sure your Outdoor Cooking Centre is OFF and cool before cleaning.
Cleaning The Solid Plate & Open Grills
Before initial use and as needed, wash your Solid plate & Open grills with a mild detergent and rinse with hot
water. For stubborn food residue use a degreaser and fibre or brass cleaning brush.
Cleaning The Grease Spillage Tray
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Spillage Tray should be inspected before each use and if required,
cleaned before turning the Outdoor Cooking Centre on. Remove grease (a plastic spatula works well) and
wash Grease Spillage Tray 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 fibre type brush and turn over to allow the Burner heat to burn off
any stubborn food residue. The Ceramic Flame Tamers work equally well on either side.
Annual Cleaning of The Outdoor Cooking Centre Interior
Use a fibre or brass cleaning brush to clean inside the Burner Housing, Solid Plate & Open Grills, Flame Tamers
and Grease Spillage Tray. Never use a wire brush or metal scraper on porcelain finished parts (Open Grills)
which can scratch or chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting.
1. Turn all Control Knobs to the full OFF position.
2. Shut off gas supply to your Outdoor Cooking Centre.
3. Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Solid Plate, Open Grills, and Grill Burners.
4. Cover each Gas Valve Nozzle with aluminum foil.
5. Brush the inside and bottom of the Outdoor Cooking Centre with a brass wire brush or fibre cleaning pad,
and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
6. Remove aluminum foil from Nozzles and check each Nozzle for obstruction.
7. Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed. The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark
Receiver should be approximately 5mm.
8. Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas Collector Box. The edge of the collector box should be overlapping
the Burner Port.
9. Replace Flame Tamers and the Solid Plate & Open Grills.
10. Reconnect the gas source and observe the Burner flame for correct operation.
Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Weathering and high heat can cause the stainless steel hood to turn tan in colour. 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 hood can also encourage discolouration if the hood is not cleaned prior to use.
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel line from LPG cylinder. 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 the Hood. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial cleaning, routine cleaning
to remove dirt, grease and oils will help discourage hood discolouration.
CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASH-BACK
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill Burner Tubes during transit and
warehousing. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the
Burner Tubes. This type of fire is known as a “FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your Outdoor
Cooking Centre and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed Burner Tube is not the only cause of “FLASH-BACK”, you must clean the Burner Tubes
before assembling your Outdoor Cooking Centre, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when
spiders are most active. Also perform this Burner Tube cleaning procedure if your Outdoor Cooking Centre has
not been used for an extended period of time.
