Cleaning and Maintenance
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will
keep your grill in top operating condition and prolong its life.
By following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis,
your grill will stay clean and work properly with minimum
effort.
CAUTION:
Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.
Cleaning The Cooking Grids
Before initial use and periodically we suggest you wash
your cooking grids in a mild soap and warm water solution.
You can use a wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean your
cooking grids.
Cleaning The Flame Tamers
Periodically you should wash the Flame Tamers in a soap
and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to remove
stubborn burnt-on cooking residue.
Cleaning The Grease Tray
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining Tray
should be visually inspected before each grill use. Remove
any grease and wash grease tray with a mild soap and
warm water solution.
Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior
Burning-off the grill after every cookout will keep it ready for
instant use. However, once a year you should give the
entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating
condition. Follow these steps:
1. Turn all burner valves to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
3. Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your gas grill.
4. Remove and clean the flame tamers, cooking grids and
grill burners.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a stiff brass
wire brush, and wash with a mild soap and warm water
solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check each ori-
fice for obstruction.
8. Check each spark electrode, adjusting as needed. The
space between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark Receiver
should be approximately 3/16”.
9, Replace the burners and adjust the gas collector box.
The edge of the collector box should be overlapping the
burner port.
10. Replace flame tamers and the cooking grids.
11. Reconnect the gas source and observe the burner flame
for correct operation.
Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Daily weathering and high heat associated with grill cooking
can cause exterior stainless surfaces to ”tan”. Follow these
directions for best results, and NEVER clean a hot grill.
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel line
from gas valve manifold. Protect fuel line fitting.
2. Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth, then polish
stainless surfaces with a Foam Spray cleaner designed for
stainless steel. Never use an abrasive cleaner or scrubber
that may scratch your stainless surfaces.
3. Dry with a soft cloth and let air dry before restart- ing grill.
VISUALLY CHECKING BURNER FLAMES
Occasionally observe burner flame for correct operation.
Indirect Cooking
The indirect cooking method can also be used with the sup-
plied cooking grids. To cook indirectly, the food should be
placed on the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit
on the opposite side. Or place your food on the secondary
cooking rack mounted inside your grill bowl and light the
outer grill burners. Either way, indirect cooking must be
done with the lid down.
Seasoning Cooking Grids
Before and after each cookout, apply a thin layer of cooking
oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each cooking grid. Be
sure to coat the entire surface including edges.
Flare-Ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause
flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably, distinctive taste
and color to food cooked over an open flame, they should
be accepted up to a point. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring
can result in a ruined meal.
WARNING
Do not line the bottom of the grill housing with aluminum
foil, sand or any substance that will restrict the flow of
grease into the grease draining tray and receptacle.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a
fire or explosion which could cause serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage.
CONGRATULATIONS
Your Barbeques Galore gas grill is now ready to grill.
Remember to keep the lid up when cooking directly on the
grill. For most foods it’s best to start grilling on high. Once
the food is seared, reduce the heat to medium. Foods mari-
nated with ingredients such as honey may burn because of
the high sugar content. You should begin their cooking on
medium. A favorite on the grill is sausages. Always cook
them slowly and if they’re particularly fatty, it may be best to
partially boil them first.
