Cooking Grates
Use a solution equal parts detergent and hot water just
as you would for any cooking equipment. A stiff wire
brush or steel wool may also be helpful in removing
grime and food deposits.
Griddle
To prevent burns or injury, make sure the griddle is
completely cool before cleaning.
The griddle is made from non-magnetic, 304 grade
stainless steel. There are various stainless steel cleaners
available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure
first, and always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Use soapy water for most cleaning. A non-abrasive
scrubber may also be helpful in removing grime and
food deposits. Steel wool may be used for especially
difficult spots. Wipe all areas dry before storing.
Steam Cleaning Your Grill
Steam cleaning the interior of your grill is very effective
and will not void your warranty. Portable hand-held
steam cleaners are inexpensive and do not require
chemicals. You can steam clean all parts of your
Cal Flame grill, including the burners. When you are
finished, make sure you wipe all surfaces down.
If you spray the burners, ignite them and let them
burn for about 10 minutes to prevent any water from
accumulating inside them.
Covering Your Cart or Grill
When not in use and after cooling, cover your cart or
grill with our full length, zippered side canvas cover.
(See your local Cal Flame dealer for details.) The cover
will help protect your cart or grill from detrimental
effects of weather and environmental pollutants.
Never put a cover on a hot grill. Allow the grill to cool
before covering.
Note
Do not use a wire brush or stainless steel
on any other part of your grill or any
other stainless steel surface except the
cooking grates or the griddle!
Drip Pan
The full width drip pan will collect grease from the
main grill area. The pan should be cleaned after every
use to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to
allow the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You may
clean the drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water.
Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.
Charcoal Grills
To prevent burns or injury, make sure the grill is
completely cool before cleaning. After initial usage,
areas of the grill may discolor from the grill’s heat.
There are various stainless steel cleaners available.
Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, and
always scrub in the direction of the grain. Soapy water
should be sufficient for most cleaning.
DO NOT use oven cleaners or abrasive cleaners on
enameled surfaces. They may damage the finish,
causing accelerated wear.
For your safety, make sure unit is cool and wood
and charcoal embers completely extinguished before
storing.
Remove the ashes as soon as possible after each use.
Wait until the charcoal has cooled, slide out the drip
pan and pour out the ashes. You can save the larger
pieces of charcoal for the next time you cook. Use
a garden hose to wash out accumulated grease and
ashes. Allow the drip pan to dry before reinserting into
the grill.
