Installation Instructions and Manual

GRILLING GRATES
• The more you use sauces or grill fay
foods, and the more solid fuels you
use with the hood closed, the more
frequently It is highly recommended
to occasionally burn off residue in your
grill. Most of the cooking residue will be
on the cooking grates or caught in the
charcoal trays. This is particularly true the
more you cook with solid fuels. Run the
grill with the main burners on high with
the hood closed for at least 30 minutes
to burn off accumulated residue and dry
everything out.
NOTE!
• Use only a stainless steel or brass
bristle brush for cleaning your cooking
grates. Never use a steel wire brush or
steel wool on your grates. It will leave
small amounts of mild carbon steel
behind, embedded into the grain of
the stainless steel that will cause rust.
1. Perform a “Burn off” cleaning as described
above to remove as much cooking residue
as possible.
2. Wait until the grill is completely cool, then
empty the drip pan as described above.
3. Remove the cooking grates, and then
sweep ash off all the interior surfaces of
your grill using a natural bristle painter’s
brush, or vacuum with a brush aachment.
4. Next, remove the charcoal trays and empty,
or vacuum them clean.
5. Use the brush or vacuum to remove all ash
from the burner covers, then remove them.
6. Brush or vacuum all ash from the burner
surfaces. Check the burner ports on the
sides of the burners to make sure they are
all clear. Clean any blocked ports with a
small modified paper clip or other suitable
tool.
7. Finally, sweep or vacuum the remaining ash
from the boom of the firebox basin.
8. Empty the clean-out pan again.

GRILLING GRATES
NOTE!
• Use only a stainless steel or brass
bristle brush for cleaning your cooking
grates. Never use a steel wire brush or
steel wool on your grates. It will leave
small amounts of mild carbon steel
behind, embedded into the grain of
the stainless steel that will cause rust.
• Before each cooking session, aer the
grill has preheated, use a stiff stainless
steel grill brush to clean the cooking
grates.
• Aer each cooking session, run the main
burners on high with the hood closed
for 10 minutes before shuing it down.
This will help burn away drippings and
residue on the grate surface and in the
basin.
• The front of your AMG liing tool can be
used to scrape off chunks of debris that
gather between fingers of the grilling
grates. You can use the tool for this rough
cleaning before or aer cooking.
• NEVER use chemicals to clean your
grilling grate surface.
WARNING!
• The drip tray gets extremely hot when
the grill is operating. Empty the drip
tray only when the grill and tray are
completely cool.
• Most of the solid fuel ash that falls
through the trays will pass through
directly through the basin to the drip tray.
To remove ash from the drip tray, you can
easily remove it by pulling all the way out
the front of the grill to empty. You can
also use a shop vac to simply vacuum ash
out of the drip tray if you prefer.
• Occasionally, you will want to be more
thorough removing ash from the inside
of the grill.
