To clean your powder coated surface:
1. Carefully remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge.
2. Use a soft brush (non abrasive) or cloth, and a mild household detergent solution to remove
dust, salt and other deposits. Never use any solvent-based cleaners, stainless steel cleaners,
heavy degreasers, oven cleaners, etc. on the painted surfaces. They can permanently damage
the paint.
3. Rinse off with clean fresh water and dry with a clean cloth.
CARE & MAINTENANCE OF GRILL COMPONENTS
GRILL GRATE AND WARMING RACK
The easiest way to clean the cooking grates is immediately after cooking is completed and after
turning off the flame. Wear a grill mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a
brass bristle grill brush in hot soapy water and scrub the hot grill rack. Dip the brush frequently
in the bowl of water. The steam created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning
process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall through the grates and burn.
If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, then cleaning will be more difficult.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after every usage of the grill. Leaving a dirty drip tray in place
will attract insects and rodents. After allowing the grill to cool completely, remove the drip tray
by pulling it out of the grill. After cleaning, reinstall the tray.
GRILL BURNERS
The briquette radiant trays should protect the Trellis Burners
™
completely. However, it may
become necessary to clean the burners, or to clean the firebox beneath the burners. Before
removal, make sure the gas supply is OFF and the control knobs are in the OFF position. Allow
the grill to cool completely, then lift off the cooking grates and radiant trays. To remove burners,
lift the rear of the burner out of the hanger bracket slightly, then rotate the burner to the left
slightly to clear the igniter shroud at the front of the firebox, then move the burner toward the
rear of the firebox until it is out. The burner is made out of a high-grade, 300-series stainless steel
which can be cleaned with a brass-bristle brush and warm, soapy water. Do not clean the ports
with a toothpick or other item which may break off inside the port. Use a paperclip or needle
to do this. Stubborn scale can be removed with a metal scraper. Be sure to rinse everything well
and shake out any water and debris trapped inside the burner tube.
Great care should be used when re-installing the burner. It must be correctly centered and
secured on the orifice before any attempt is made to relight the grill. The rear burner bracket
should lie flat and not have any side-to-side movement. See the LOCATING AND ASSEMBLY
section of this manual for details on proper burner installation.
ROTISSERIE BURNER CLEANING
Due to the upper location of the Rotisserie Burner, it should not be necessary to clean it, unless
food debris or juices have sprayed onto the tiles. Should this happen, after removing the food
item & spit, turn the burner back on again for an additional 5 minutes to allow the burner to
vaporize any residue. Do not attempt to clean the tile ports with a toothpick or other item
which may break off inside the port. If needed, you may also wait until the burner has cooled
completely and brush the tile faces to remove any accumulated ash.
NOTICE: Avoid directing water on the Rotisserie Burner as this may damage the ceramic burner
panels. Water damage to your Rotisserie Burner is not covered by the warranty.
SEAR BURNER CLEANING
When used correctly, it should not be necessary to clean Hestan Infrared Sear Burners. The hot
screen and tiles vaporize anything that falls on them. However, if food debris or drippings were
