Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and espe-
cially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill
and its components are cool before cleaning. In order to
extend the life and maintain the condition of your grill, we
strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored
outside for any length of time, especially during the winter
months.
Most residue on the Cooking Grids can be cleaned with a
baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a
nonabrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or
other like cleaning products on the porcelain coated sur-
faces. This will scratch the porcelain coating causing foods
to stick.
Provided that the Burner is operating correctly, in normal
usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the
burner clean. The Burner should be removed and cleaned
annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that
there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the
burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the
burner. (See Burner cleaning instructions below)
How to clean the Burner
1) Make sure the LP cylinder and grill control knobs are
turned off, and the grill has completely cooled.
2) Carefully remove Grease Cup, Cooking Grid, and Flavor
Activator™.
3) Remove the Burner, by first removing the Heat Shield
from the bottom of grill Bowl. Remove the two screws
securing the burner (also located underneath the grill
bowl.)
4) Remove Burner from the grill.
5) Use a pipe cleaner to clear obstructions from the Burner
holes and inlet hole. Verify that there are no insects or
insect nests blocking the inlet hole. Normal wear and
corrosion may enlarge some holes, however, if large
cracks or holes are found the Burner should be replaced.
Note: It is normal for surface rust to be present on the
Burner.
6) If grill is to be stored, coat Burner lightly with cooking oil.
and Wrap in a protective cover to keep insects out.
7) After cleaning, reinstall Burner and other parts
removed back into grill. Note: When refitting the Burner,
be careful to check that it is positioned correctly. (Refer
to Step 6 of Assembly Instructions for reinstallation)
