PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:
WARNING:
If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles
remain on the cooking surfaces prior to grilling as loose bristles may attach to food.
CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:
• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with
wire bristle brush and then turning burners to HIGH for approximately 5 minutes.
WARNING:
DO NOT leave grill unattended when grill is on. Wear oven mitts to protect from burns.
• The heat from the burners will burn off most food/fat residue from grates & heat tents and turn it
to an ash like substance which will fall to the bottom of the firebox or fat tray. After the grill cools
(approximately 30 minutes) remove grates and heat tents and brush the ash and any fat out of
the firebox. Clean and replace fat cup. Inspect the heat tents for damage or deterioration before
reinstalling in the grill.
• Wash the grates and heat tents with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water periodically if desired.
CAUTION:
DO NOT allow ash residue to remain on the fat tray or firebox as it could block proper fat
drainage of the grill.
INTERIOR OF GRILL LID:
• Smoke will accumulate inside grill lid and may flake onto your food. Clean the inside of the grill lid with
scrub brush and baking soda/water solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior
of gas grill lids are not painted.
MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF GRILL:
• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not
in use.
• Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
• Stainless steel surfaces. To maintain your grill’s appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm
soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on fat deposits may require the use
of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not
use abrasive pad on areas with graphics. Car wax may help protect the exterior finish of your grill.
• Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with a
solution of baking soda and water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder
such as baking soda for stubborn stains.
• Plastic and rubber parts. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive
cleaners, solvents or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can
result.
RUST:
• Discoloration, rust and rust pits can occur as a result of high cooking temperatures, acidic marinades,
fat fires and exposure to coastal climates or other natural elements.
• Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or
vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.
• Never use cleaners containing chlorine or store swimming pool supplies or chemicals in cart
compartment as chlorine promotes rust.
