Maintaining Your Grills’ Appearance:
One of the best features of your new stainless steel grill is it's
shiny exterior. To maintain this appearance over many years,
follow two simple rules;
1) Keep it covered. Backyard environments are harsh on
your grills’ finish. Long days of exposure to sun, water,
yard chemicals and the elements will reduce the shine of
stainless steel. We strongly recommend that you cover
your Barbecue with a custom “Turbo” Cover from
Barbeques Galore.
2)
Do not overheat your grill.
If you do not follow the operat-
ing instructions and leave the grill on high with the lid
closed or allow an unattended grease fire to burn, your
grills’ finish will turn a dull brown. This happens to all stain-
less steel when it reaches a temperature of 575°F or
greater. Refer to section on
“..Heat Control”
on
page 8
.
If this should happen, don't panic because with some effort
your grill can still be polished back to a nice shine.
Cooking Grills:
The Stainless Cooking Grills should be cleaned regularly.
Use a brass bristle brush to lightly clean off the excess build-
up on both sides of the grill.
Use care not to scratch or chip the porcelain finish on
Porcelain Grills.
Do not use abrasives!
To Thoroughly Clean The Grills:
Step 1.
Lightly brush off excess build-up with brass brush on
both sides.
Step 2.
Remove grills from barbecue.
Step 3.
Wash grills in warm water.
Step 4.
With grills still wet, sprinkle baking soda very liberally
over surfaces on both sides.
Step 5.
Take a wet sponge and vigorously rub and clean off
surfaces.
NOTE:
Tough spots may need second application of baking
soda and rubbing.
Step 6:
Rinse well and dry. Oil lightly.
Stainless Steel Burners:
Burners need to be cleaned periodically. Take each indi-
vidual burner out of the barbecue and brush it down very thor-
oughly using a stiff wire brush. Make sure every port hole is
open. If the holes are obstructed, they may be cleaned using
a #32 drill bit (.1160 diameter) or small open paper clip. Use a
fine tooth hacksaw blade or sharp knife to clean out cross over
slot on bottom of burner.
Visually check the inside of the Burner by using a flash-
light to verify there are no internal blockages or spider webs.
Use a Venturi Cleaning Brush if necessary. A Venturi Tube
Cleaner should be used to clean the venturi section.
Tap the open end of burner gently on a hard surface to
dislodge any residue, etc. inside.
To visually check that the burner is operating, look at the
burner flame between the tray and BARBECUE frame. The
flame should be approximately 1/2"-3/4" long with the high set-
ting (see
Figure 19
).
TIP:
Rotate the burners every few months.
n
CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK
CAUTION:
Spiders and small
insects occasionally spin webs
or make nests in the grill burner
tubes during transit and ware-
housing. These webs can lead to
a gas flow obstruction which
could result in a fire in and
around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as a
”FLASHBACK” and can cause serious damage to your grill and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of
”FLASHBACK”, it is the most common cause. To reduce the
chance of ”FLASHBACK”, you must clean the burner tubes
before assembling your grill, and at least once a month in late
summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also per-
form this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not
been used for an extended period of time. A venturi tube clean-
er should be used to clean the venturi section (
Figure 19
).
