CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE COOKING GRIDS
After cooking, turn control knobs to “OFF” and let grill cool before attempting to clean your cooking grids. Before first use and
periodically it is suggested that you wash the cooking grids in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a washcloth or
a vegetable brush to clean your cooking grids. Take care not to chip the porcelain coating.
CLEANING THE FLAME TAMER
Washing the flame tamer after every use is not necessary but periodically it is suggested you wash the tamer in a soap and
warm water solution. Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burned on cooking residue. Dry the flame tamer thoroughly before
you reinstall it in the cooking bowl.
CLEANING THE BURNERS.
IMPORTANT: Gas control knobs should be in the „OFF” position, and fuel line should be disconnected from gas valve manifold.
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK, the procedure below should be followed at least once a month or when your grill has not
been used for an extended period of time.
1. Remove burners from grill by carefully lifting each burner up and away from gas valve orifice.
2. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
3. Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner.
4. After installation, check to insure that gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside ends of burner tubes. Also check position
of spark electrode.
CLEANING THE GREASE TRAY
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm water solution.
ANNUAL CLEANING OF GRILL HOUSING
Burn-off the grill after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use, however, once a year you should give the entire grill a
thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition.
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnects fuel line from gas valve manifold. Protect fuel line fitting.
2. Remove and clean (as explained before) the cooking grids, flame tamers and burners.
3. Remove warming rack and wash with mild detergent and warm water.
4. Cover the gas valve orifices with a piece of aluminum foil.
5. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a stiff wire brush, and wash down with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
6. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check orifices for obstruction.
7. Check electrode as instructed on page 7.
8. Replace flame tamers, cooking grids, and warming rack.
9. Reconnect to gas source and observe burner flame for correct operation.
IMPORTANT: You should NOT line the bottom of the grill housing with aluminum foil, sand or any other grease absorbent
substance. Grease will not be able to drip down into grease collector and a grease fire could occur.
