Cleaning the Grill
Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning
a hot grill.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking
grid. Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not
scrape grids.
For baked on residue use a brass (NOT STEEL) brush on
the cooking grid and other components.
Burn Off
This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens
and is most efficient when completed after each use of
the grill.
Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn off
process. Opening the grill during the burn off process
may cause a sudden grease fire flare up that could burn
your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled
before opening.
1. Turn gas knob to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to
burn for ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do
not allow the grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.
2. Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill
to cool.
3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.
Grill Bottom
Periodically remove cooking grids and flare guard to clean
the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with
a putty knife or brass brush and rinse with water. Clean
the bottom air holes with a small knife.
Burner Maintenance
Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use.
This does not effect the performance of the grill. When
cleaning the interior of the grill, remove the burners and
clean with a brass brush. Wash with water and a mild
detergent.
Grease Tray
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be
purchased at most supermarkets where disposable
aluminum baking pans are displayed.
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to
burning, thus ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or other
small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes
obstructing air flow. Fire, or flashback, can occur, in and/or
around obstructed venturi tubes and can cause damage to
components beneath the grill or an unsafe condition. To
reduce risk, inspections and cleaning should be performed
at least twice monthly when spiders are active. If the grill
has been unused for an extended period of time inspect
the tubes before using the grill.
Clean venturi tubes as follows:
1. Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack.
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Lay the burner face down and remove the four retaining
screws from the venturi tube plate and the burner.
Figure 16.
4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for the
tube(s).
5. Flush with water.
6. Allow the tube(s)
to dry before
reinstalling.
7. R e i n s t a l l t h e
venturi tubes and
burner.
Exterior
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and
hot water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer.
Broilmaster
®
protective covers are recommended. Stain-
less steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on
stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.
Briquettes
If the briquettes did not come clean during burn off, after
cooling turn them over. The residue will burn off during
warm-up for the next use.
