General Grill Cleaning
• Keep the outside of your grill looking new by
cleaning it once a month with warm soap and water
or a non-abrasive cleaner. If you don’t have a grill
cover, wipe off dust and grime before starting your
grill.
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of
grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills
are not painted at the factory
. 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.
• Coating the cooking grids with spray-on cooking oil
will keep the food from sticking and make clean up
easier. After cooking, scrape the grates with a long
handled, brass wire bristle brush.
• Check inside the grill bottom for grease build-up
and clean often, especially after cooking fatty meat.
(and should never
be painted)
Do not apply a caustic
grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
•Vaporizer Tents:
• Plated wire grate(s):
Plastic parts:
• Porcelain grate(s):
Will eventually decompose and
weaken with use. Remove from grill and tap to
loosen any scaling. Brush vigorously with a wire
brush to remove any additional scaling, rust or
residue.
Wash grate(s) and V- bar
with concentrated grill cleaner or use soap and
water solution. Dry thoroughly and store indoors
between cookouts.
•
Wash with warm soapy water and
wipe dry.
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners,
degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic
parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
Because of glass-like
composition, most residue can be wiped away with
baking soda/water solution or specially formulated
cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for
stubborn stains.

Repainting Your Grill
• After extended use and exposure to weather, paint
on grill may change color slightly or become
spotted. Although this detracts from grill’s
appearance, it will not impair its performance.
• To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and
bottom with wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit
sandpaper. Sanding allows new paint to adhere
more easily. Wash grill lid and bottom with soap and
water to remove dust and grease. Do not use a grill
cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar.
Refinish outside with heat-resistant paint. Do not
paint inside of grill.
