General Appliance Cleaning

• Clean appliance often, preferably after each cookout. If a
bristle brush is used to clean any of the appliance cooking
surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces
prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking
surface while appliance is hot. Appliance should be cleaned
at least once a year.
•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong
solution of detergent and water or use a appliance cleaner
with scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom.
Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply caustic
appliance/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
• Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated appliance cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to
and failure of parts can result.
•Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
•Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
•Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your appliance’s high
quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm
soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use.
Baked-on grease 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.
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the
appliance cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain
on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while appliance is hot.
•Clean cooking grates.
•Store in dry location.
•When gas cylinder is connected to appliance, store outdoors
in a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
•Cover appliance if stored outdoors.
•Store appliance indoors ONLY if gas cylinder is turned off and
disconnected, removed from appliance and stored outdoors.
•When removing appliance from storage check for burner
obstructions.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace burners.
11. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
12. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners.
Replace flame tamers and cooking grates.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must
reengage valve openings. See illustration.
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting appliance.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates, flame tamers, carryover tubes and
burners.
3. Detach electrode from burner.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
5. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the
one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
burner tube and out burner ports. Check each port to
make sure air comes out each hole.
6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found, replace burner.
