Cleaning the Grill
Grill Grates: These are made from cast aluminum which have been anodized. This
coating will fade with use.
• The grates should be cleaned after each use. They can be cleaned with detergent
and a plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or washed in the dishwasher if burned on
residue is first removed. For heavy soil, grates can be soaked in hot, soapy water
to which a cleanser, such as household ammonia, has been added.
• Donotusemetalbrushesorabrasivescouringpadsorotherscrubbersintended
to clean outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch
the grates. Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the
grates.
Grill-Rocks: These are made from cast-iron which have been coated with porcelain
enamel.
• The grill-rocks should be cleaned frequently or after any excessive build up of
grease. To clean light soil, use detergent and a plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or
wash in the dishwasher if burned on residue is first removed. For heavy soil, soak
in hot, soapy water to which a cleanser, such as household ammonia, has been
added. Stubborn spots on grill-rocks, such as burned on residue from sauces,
can be scrubbed with a stiff bristle brush.
• An oven cleaner, such as Easy-Off, can be used for burned on soil. Follow
manufacturer's directions; spray on cleaner and let soak overnight. Do not clean
grill-rocks in the self-cleaning oven.
Grill Element: Follow instructions on page 16 for removing the grill element. The
grill element should never be immersed in water. Most soil will burn off during use. The
terminal block may be cleaned with soapy S.O.S. pad. Dry thoroughly before reinsert-
ing in the cooktop.
Porcelain Drain Pan: This area, located under the grill-rocks, should be cleaned
after each heavy use of the grill.
• To remove light soil, clean area with soapy water or spray with cleansers such as
409 or Grease Relief. For easier clean-up, soak paper towels in a household
cleanser, lay in drain pan, and soak for at least a half-hour or longer.
• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet, Bon Ami, a soft scrub cleanser or
plastic scrubber.
• To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven cleaner such as Easy-Off; let soak
overnight, wipe clean, rinse and dry.
