Storing Your Appliance
General Appliance Cleaning
Høyre
skinne
•
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 barbecueing. 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 barbecues 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 barbecueing. 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.

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting barbecue.
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.
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
heat tents and cooking grates.
13. Before cooking again on barbecue, perform a “Leak Test”
and “Burner Flame Check” .
