APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN CLEANING. DO NOT
SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.
The appliance MUST be cleaned as instructed below to prevent grease
build-up and other food deposits.
A clean and well maintained appliance prevents the risk of grease/fat fi res.
See INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND SAFETY INFORMATION section.
AFTER EACH USE: preheat the unit, brush the cooking grids to remove all
residue, and operate on high (hood closed) for 10-15 minutes to burn off all grease.
EVERY 10 COOKOUTS: clean the unit as instructed below.
ANNUALLY: completely clean the unit and all of its components. A complete
maintenance kit is available with step by step cleaning instructions, see Table 1.
COOKING GRIDS
Before and after each use, clean the cooking grids with a grill brush. Before initial
use and periodically, it is suggested that the cooking grids be washed with a mild
soap and warm water solution.
INTERIOR
THE BURNER PORTS AND CARRY-OVER PORTS/SLOTS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN TO ENSURE PROPER IGNITION
AND OPERATION.
Remove the burner (see the CHECK BURNER ORIFICES section) and clean the ports and slots as required. Also inspect
and clean the burner inlet for insects and nests. A clogged burner can lead to a fi re in the bottom of the appliance. A burner
maintenace kit is available, see Table 1.
The inside of the appliance may be cleaned periodically with oven cleaner if desired . Follow the oven cleaner instructions
for proper use.
Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface of the appliance as it can permanently damage the fi nish. DO NOT
use glass cleaner that contains ammonia when cleaning glass surfaces inside of the unit.
EXTERIOR
Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures produced by the grilling process will change color. The stainless steel
will change color from silver to brown and blue. This can be removed by using stainless steel cleaner.
Clean your appliance by fi rst using stainless steel grill cleaner to remove grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain (See
Fig. 36-1). Next, apply stainless steel polish and wipe down using polish wipes to restore the stainless steel color. To clean
glass surfaces (if applicable), use a quality brand glass cleaner only, not any of the cleaners mentioned above.
If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or poolside (chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible to corrosion and
must be maintained/cleaned more frequently. Do not store chemicals (such as chlorine or fertilizer) near your stainless steel
appliance.
Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits are removable
with stainless steel cleaner through prompt and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly, permanent pitting may occur.
By following these recommendations, you will enjoy the beauty and convenience of your appliance for many years to come.
DRIP TRAY
The drip collector allows you to brush or scrape residue from the grill’s inner liner into the drip tray. Regular cleaning
of the grill’s interior with oven cleaner will help prevent grease/fat fi res.
After each use, wait for the grill to cool and carefully pull out the drip tray to check it. When a tray liner is nearing full, carefully
lift it out of the drip tray, lifting with both hands to keep the tray level until it is safely discarded. Then insert a new drip tray
liner (see INSTALLATION - INSTALL THE DRIP TRAY section if needed).
If a tray liner is not installed, carefully remove the drip tray and empty the contents. Replace the tray.
Order more drip tray liners through your local Fire Magic dealer.
Note: The foil tray liner is also useful for setting on burners to cover them and catch drippings directly during rotisserie
only cooking (if applicable).
PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE WEATHER
An optional cover will protect your appliance when not in use. Allow to cool before covering. Please specify the model number
and serial number of your appliance when ordering a cover.
