General Grill Cleaning
• 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
grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and
bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry.
Do not
apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
s Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or
a concentrated grill 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 grill’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 grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose
bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is
not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill
is hot.
SPIDER ALERT!
CAUTION
INSIDE BURNER
SPIDER AND WEBS
If your barbeque is getting hard to light or the flame is
weak, check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are know to create
“flashback” problems by building nests and laying
eggs in the barbeque’s venturi or burner obstructing
the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind
the control panel. This flashback can damage your
barbeque and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks
and ensure good performance the burner and venturi
tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when
ever the barbeque has been idle for an extended
period of time.
Storing Your Grill

in a well-ventilated space and out of reach of
children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of
grill covers offered by manufacturers.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow “ Cleaning the
Burner Assembly ” instructions before starting grill.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of
burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1.
Turn gas OFF at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and heat tents.
3. Remove carryover tubes and hardware securing burners.
4. Detach electrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on
the burner configuration. See different configurations
in illustrations below.
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve
openings.
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 tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the 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.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage
valve openings. See illustrations at right.
9. Attach electrode to burner.
10. Carefully replace burners.
11. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
12. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners.
