Installation and Owner's Manual

29
Your sideburner requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Refer to these instructions for details. Performing these
procedures will ensure proper operation, appearance, and safety.
WARNINGS
• Prior to servicing or cleaning make sure the unit is completely cool, the control knobs are turned to the OFF position,
the gas supply is shut off, the light switch is off, and the power supply is disconnected (as applicable and unless
otherwise stated).
• Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during any servicing or cleaning.
• DO NOT spray any cleaner or liquids on the unit when hot.
• The unit MUST be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up and other food deposits. A clean and well maintained
unit prevents the risk of grease build-up and grease fires.
• Verify proper operation after servicing or deep cleaning.
• See INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION section for additional related information.
CLEANING YOUR SIDEBURNER
Before Each Use
1. Inspect and clean the exterior surfaces of the unit: With a cool sideburner, clean any dust, grease, splatter, or spills
as needed with a damp clean cloth.
After Each Use
1. Clean the burner area and cooking grid: With a cool sideburner, clean any dust, grease, splatter, or spills as needed
with a damp clean cloth. If needed, use a grill brush to clean the cooking grid of any residue.
2. Cover your sideburner: Once the sideburner is dry and cool, place the sideburner lid and cover your sideburner with a
protective cover (not included).
Twice A Year (or as needed) - Deep Clean
1. Interior of sideburner (burner area): In addition to cleaning the burner area and cooking grid, a deep clean of the
interior, burner(s), and all components MUST be performed twice a year (or as needed depending on use). Follow
the steps below.
a. With a cool unit, remove the sideburner lid, cooking grid, burner caps, and burner(s). Clean all components in a soapy
water solution, rinse, dry, and set aside. For tough deposits and burner ports, a copper pad can be used.
Note: Refer to the parts list and BURNER REMOVAL section as needed.
Important: The burner ports MUST be kept clean to ensure proper ignition and operation.
b. Use a grill cleaner and a copper pad to scrub the burner area. Fire Magic grill cleaner is recommended. Follow instructions
provided with the grill cleaner.
Wipe down the entire surface of the burner area with a wet, clean, heavy-duty rag. Remove all cleaner.
c. Re-install all components removed during this process.
2. Exterior of sideburner (lid and control panel)
Porcelainized (black) surfaces: Use a non-corrosive oven/grill cleaner (or a soapy
water solution) and a cloth to remove grease and dirt. Rinse and dry completely.
Stainless steel surfaces: With a cool unit, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water
solution) and a clean cloth to remove grease and dirt from the lid and control panel.
For tough deposits, a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with the grain. Rinse
and dry completely. Then follow up with a stainless steel cleaner and a clean cloth.
If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel may become dull and
develop surface rust (due to use and atmospheric conditions). If left uncleaned,
significant damage and pitting may occur.
Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools, or any other cleaners/
chemicals to clean the exterior other than recommended above. Such
items promote rust.
Note: Due to the nature of stainless steel, temperatures produced by the cooking
process will cause discoloration. This can be reduced by routine cleaning.
