MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Grill
Caution: To prevent injury, do not clean a hot grill.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grids. 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 grids 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 sud-
den grease fire flare up that could burn your face and arms.
Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.
1. Turn control knobs 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 control knobs and gas 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 flame tamers 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.
Electrode Position
Igniter electrode tips need to be placed about 1/8” from the burner
surface in order to work properly. Adjust accordingly if it is mis-
aligned.
See Figure 20.

protective covers are recommended. Stain-
less steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless
steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.
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 Rotisserie burner and venturi tubes as follows:
1. Remove rotisserie burner back cover (5 Phillips screws - 4 on
the back and 1 on the inside top).
2. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris from the
venturi tubes (interior of burners).
3. Replace rotisserie burner back cover.
