ANNUAL CLEANING OF GRILL HOUSING
Burning off the barbecue 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. Protect fuel line fitting.
2. Remove and clean 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. Wash thoroughly and let dry.
6. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check orifices for obstruction.
7. Reinstall flame tamers, cooking grids, and warming rack.
8. 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 into the drip tray and a grease fire may
occur.
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
1. Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
3. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
4. Visually check burner flames. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive
noise, or lifting. If any of these conditions exist call our customer service line.
5. Clean outdoor cooking gas appliance, including special surfaces, with recommended cleaning
agents, if necessary.
6. Check and clean burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the
grill.
WARNING: Make sure each burner if properly replaced after cleaning. It is very important to ensure
the end of the burner is installed appropriately onto the gas valve to ensure gas flows safely into the
burner. Failure to meet these conditions can cause dangerous conditions that can cause personal
injury and/or property damage.
