CLEANING THE GRIDS
After cooking, turn the burner control to “OFF” and let the BBQ cool before
attempting to clean your grill plates.
Before
fi
rst use - as well as periodically - we suggest that you wash the grids in a mild
soap and warm water solution.
You can use a wash cloth, a vegetable brush, or non-metallic scouring pad to clean
your grids.
CLEANING THE FLAME TAMER
Washing the
fl
ame tamers after every use is not necessary but we suggest that you
frequently wash the
fl
ame tamer in a soap and warm water solution.
Use a non-metallic brush/scourer to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue.
Dry the
fl
ame tamer thoroughly before you reinstall it in the cooking body.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and washed in a mild
detergent and warm water solution.
A level layer of clean dry sand should be placed in the bottom of the sand tray to
absorb the grease. Lining the tray with aluminium foil before use will aid in cleaning.
