Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Inside of the Grill
Over time, the performance of your grill can diminish if
it has not been maintained properly. Low temperatures,
uneven heat, and food sticking to cooking grates are all
signs that cleaning and maintenance are overdue.
A thorough cleaning is recommended when the grill is going
to be stored, or at least twice a year. Consistent use may
require quarterly cleanings. When your grill is o and cool,
start by cleaning the inside, from the top down.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice “paint-like” flakes on
the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapors
slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your
lid. These deposits will eventually peel, and looks very
similar to paint. These deposits are non-toxic, but the flakes
could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.
1) Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the lid
with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (A). To minimize
further build-up, the inside of the lid can be wiped with a
paper towel after barbecuing while the grill is still warm
(nothot).
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
If you have been cleaning your cooking grates before every
cook, as recommended, the debris on your grates should
be minimal.
1) With grates installed, brush the debris o your cooking
grates with a stainless steel bristle grill brush(B).
Cleaning the Burner
Two areas on the burner that are key to optimum
performance are the ports (small openings running along
the length of the burner) and the spider/insect screens
on the ends of the burner. Keeping these areas clean is
essential for safe operation.
Cleaning the Burner Ports
1) Take the cooking grates out and set aside.
2) Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean the
outside of the burners by brushing across the top of the
burner ports (C). Do not brush lengthwise.along the tube,
as this will only brush debris from one port to another.
3) When cleaning the burner, avoid damaging the ignition
electrode by carefully brushing around it.
Cleaning the Spider Screens
1) Locate the end of the burner behind the control panel
where it meets the valve.
2) Remove the screw from the top of the rain shield, then
remove the rain shield from the burner tube (on select
models only) (D).
3) Clean the spider/insect screen on the burner using a soft
bristle brush (E).
4) Reinstall the rain shield over the end of the burner tube
and secure with screw.
