Installation Guide
WARNING:  If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain     
on the cooking surfaces prior to grilling as loose bristles may attach to food.
CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:
•  We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with wire bristle 
brush and then turning burners to “HIGH” for approximately 5 minutes.
WARNING:  DO NOT leave grill unattended when grill is on. Wear oven mitts to protect from burns.
•  The heat from the burners will burn off most food/grease residue from grates & heat tents and turn it to an ash like 
substance which will fall to the bottom of the  rebox or grease tray. After the grill cools (approximately 30 minutes) 
remove grates and heat tents and brush the ash and any grease out of the  rebox. Clean and replace grease cup. 
Inspect the heat tents for damage or deterioration before reinstalling in the grill. (Replacements can be ordered by 
calling 800-527-0717.)
•  Wash the grates and heat tents with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water periodically if desired.
CAUTION:  DO NOT allow ash residue to remain on the grease tray or  rebox as it could block proper grease    
drainage of the grill.
INTERIOR OF GRILL LID:
•  Smoke will accumulate inside grill lid and may  ake onto your food. Clean the inside of the grill lid with scrub brush 
and baking soda/water solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior of gas grill lids are not 
painted.
MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF GRILL:
•  To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.
•  Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
•  Stainless steel surfaces. To maintain your grill’s appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and 
wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic 
cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed  nish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with 
graphics. Car wax may help protect the exterior  nish of your grill.
•  Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with a solution of baking 
soda and water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for 
stubborn stains. 
•  Plastic and rubber parts. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, 
degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:
BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
•  Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other  ammable vapors and liquids.
•  Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
•  Visually check burner  ames for proper operation (see pictorial in “Burner Assembly/Maintenance” under Proper Care 
and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage. 
•  For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after extended 
periods of storage.
•  Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION:  Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
•  Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot water 
and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. 
Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.
RUST:
•  Discoloration, rust and rust pits can occur as a result of high cooking temperatures, acidic marinades, grease  res 
and exposure to coastal climates or other natural elements.
•  Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil 
spray to minimize rusting.
•  Never use cleaners containing chlorine or store swimming pool supplies or chemicals in cart compartment as 
chlorine promotes rust.
