Cleaning Instructions

WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.

WARNING! Accumulated grease is a fire hazard.

WARNING! Cleaning should only be done when the grill is cool to avoid the possibility of

burns.

First Time Use

1. Wash grids by hand with water and mild dish soap to remove

any residue from the manufacturing process. DO NOT wash in a

dishwasher.

2. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth

to prevent moisture from entering the cast iron.

Cast Iron Grids

• Season your grids to add a protective coating to prevent corrosion

See Grilling Tips – How to Season your Cast Iron Cooking Grids.

Stainless Steel Grids

• Stainless steel cooking grids can be cleaned by preheating the grill

and using a wire brush to remove residue.

• Stainless steel grids will permanently discolor from regular use

because of high temperatures when grilling.

Porcelain Enamel

Avoid chipping or scratching the porcelain coat on the sear plates and drip

pan, as this might compromise corrosion resistance. Use plastic putty

knives or scrappers when cleaning porcelain parts.

Inside of the Grill

1. Remove the cooking grids.

2. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the sides and

underneath the lid.

3. Scrape the sear plates with a putty knife or scraper. Use a wire brush

to remove the ash.

4. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with a wire

brush.

5. Sweep debris from inside the grill into the drip pan.
