Cleaning Your Appliance
WARNING: Always be sure the grill control is turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat,
ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
NOTE: You should clean your appliance after each use to maintain the overall appearance over the life of your
appliance. After the first use, it is normal for your appliance to become discolored in certain areas from the heat
produced by the burners. A video for cleaning your grill is located on the blaze website to assist with the below
instructions, www.blazegrills.com
.
Exterior Cleaning
When cleaning your appliance, always scrub and polish in the direction of the stainless steel grain. Wipe down the
exterior of the appliance to remove any splatter or grease. Do not use harsh abrasives. Use a stainless steel cleaner to
clean the exterior surface for a polished look. To remove baked-on foods, use a fine to medium grit non- metallic abrasive
pad with a stainless steel cleaner to avoid specks of grease collecting in the grain causing the appearance of rust. Before
installing the cover, always allow the surface to dry. DO NOT cover a damp appliance.
Flame Tamers, Cooking Grids and Warming Racks
To clean (should clean after each use), turn the main burners on HIGH for 10-15 minutes with the hood closed. This
allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away. Brush components with a stainless steel bristle brush to
remove any remaining charred materials.
Cast Stainless Steel Burner
The appliance must be completely cooled before proceeding. Make sure the gas supply is off and all control knobs are
in the “OFF” position. You must remove the cooking grids and flame tamer to expose the main burners in the appliance.
On the bottom rear of the burner are two cotter pins. Remove cotter pins. To remove burner, pull upwards and slide
burner to the left of the appliance. Repeat for each burner. To clean the burners, use a wire brush to clean the exterior
of the burner. Free all clogged ports of obstructions with a small metal object. Clean out any debris through the air shutter
and inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is free of any obstructions. Use a rod or pipe cleaner to remove any debris within
the burner if necessary.
Drip Tray & Internal Cleaning
Warning: Due to the compact design of a portable grill, the drippings from cooking accumulate at a faster rate than a
full sized grill. The inner body of the grill should be cleaned before each use to eliminate the buildup of grease and
potential for a grease fire. Failure to do so may result in a fire or bodily injury.
