Use and Care Guide

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These

can usually be removed with warm soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. As a last resort, a

mild abrasive pad could be used with a stainless cleaner. Use light pressure on the pad and

always scrub in the direction of the grain. There are many outstanding products that will help

clean and protect on all non-cooking surfaces.

Do not use steel wool to clean the grill.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on the polished surface. Use caution when cleaning. Metal

polish or a mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back luster and highlights. Naval jelly

can be used to remove rust stains that occur from outside sources. Follow the naval jelly

instructions carefully.

To touch up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface lightly with 160

dry grit emery sand paper in the direction of the grain.

Drip Tray

The drip tray collects excessive grease runoff and fallen food particles.

Allow the tray and its contents to cool before cleaning. slide out the drip tray and then wipe it

clean.

Make sure the tray is installed before using the grill.

It is highly recommended that you check the tray regularly to avoid any possibility of a grease

fire; however, most of the drippings will vaporize back into the cooked item giving you an

outdoor grilled flavor.

Helpful Care and Maintenance Hints

Before grilling, pre-heat grill for 15 minutes on "HIGH" with hood down. To avoid uncontrolled

flare-ups or grease fires, grill meats with hood open. Close hood if meats are thick or weather

is cold, or if you are using a rotisserie or indirect cooking.

Always protect your hand with a pot mitten or cooking glove when coming into contact with a

hot surface.

Hood up when grilling meats, especially chicken. Hood down when indirect or rotisserie

cooking.

NEVER leave your grill unattended while cooking.

After use, close hood, turn burners to “HIGH” for 15 min. for self-cleaning grease burn off.
