Care & Maintenance
CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done only when grill is cool & with the fuel supply
turned off at the cylinder. If your grill is set up for use with natural gas, turn off gas supply at the system
manual shut off valve.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered (cover sold
separately). We recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray located below the grill should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.
NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
COOKING GRATES
The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill.
Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down,
cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.
FLAME TAMERS
Washing the flame tamers after every use is not necessary but periodically it is suggested you wash
them in a soap and warm water solution. Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burned on cooking
residue. Dry the flame tamers thoroughly before you reinstall them in the cooking insert.
BURNERS
IMPORTANT: Gas control knobs should be in the “OFF” position and fuel line should be disconnected.
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK, the procedure below should be followed at least once a month or
when your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Remove burners from grill by carefully lifting each burner up and away from gas valve orifice. Wire
brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food debris and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff
wire such as an open paper clip.
2. Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new
burner.
3. After installation, check to insure that gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside ends of burner
tubes. Also check position of spark electrode.
STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners. This is
normal. Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks
of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn
appearance. For removal, use a non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
