Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning: Your grill works better and lasts longer if properly cleaned and maintained.
Clean the grill after each use. Turn grill off before starting to clean. Protect your hand
with a good mitt when cleaning the hot grill. Use a wire brush, dip in water and scrub
the cooking grids to soften and loosen food spills. The food spills will fall into the crumb
pan. Burn off excess food debris and marinades for 15 minutes after cooking. Do not
use Aerosol cleaners on hot grill surface. Chemicals may produce noxious fumes
and may ignite on contact with the hot surface.
Shield: Burner shields are made up of stainless steel. Occasionally,
after allowing the shields to cool down, remove and soak them in water with a mild soap
or detergent. Replace when dry.
Briquettes: If your grill uses briquettes, it is recommended to occasionally use a wire brush to
gently clean them.
Crumb Tray / Grease Pan: Empty grease pan as required to prevent overflowing. After use,
remove the pan and brush off the contents. Clean with hot water and soap or detergent. NEVER
line drip the pan with any type of foil!
All stainless steel parts should be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent or with a liquid cleanser
especially made for stainless steel. Never attempt to clean stainless steel with steel
wool, abrasive cloths or powders.
Maintenance
Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and air ventilation. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the
cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest
cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable
scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the direction
of the grain.
Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface
and give the appearance of surface rust. Surface rust is caused by using steel wool or
steel bristle brushes to clean the surfaces. Never use steel wool or steel bristle brushes on the
stainless steel surfaces. It can also be caused by harsh chemicals used in the area of
the grill, like common pool chemicals or acid used to wash down patios or decks. NEVER
store chemicals of ANY kind in or near your grill! Surface rust may also be caused by other
forms of contaminants found in the air or as a result of foreign matter introduced to the grill. For
removal of most types of surface rust, use a slightly abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in
conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Bar Keepers Friend is another excellent
product. Always rub in the direction of the grain. Surface rust is not covered under the
warranty.
Routinely have a professional barbecue cleaning company detail the barbecue for best results
and longevity.
The burners, control area, crumb pan, etc. should be kept clean at all times. During prolonged
non-use of the grill, spiders & insects can nest in areas that will adversely affect the functioning of
the grill. Check burner inlets, orifice hood (gas inlet to burner), igniter, ignitors, etc. thoroughly and
clean before use.
