Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the Grates and Burners
1. Remove the grates, then remove the burner caps and
burner heads.
2. Clean the grates and burner parts in warm, soapy water.
(Do not use steel-wool pads or abrasive cleaners.)
3. Rinse and dry grates and burner parts fully.
4. Reassemble the burner heads, engaging the slots in each
head with those in each manifold.
5.
Lay each cap flat on each heads.
6. Place the grates in their respective positions.
7. Light each burner to verify proper function.
Before removing the burner caps and heads, note their size and location. Replace them in the same location
after cleaning.
Wash burner caps and heads in hot, soapy water, and rinse with clean running water. You may scour with a
plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food. Use a sewing needle or twist tie to unclog the small holes in
the burner head, if required.
• The brass burner parts will discolor. This does not
affect performance.
• During cleaning, be sure to clean out burner ports.
• Swap the original burner caps for porcelain caps if
desired.
• To remove burned-on residue, soak brass burner caps
in 1 cup of water and 1 tbsp white vinegar or lemon
juice. (Do not clean with a metal brush.)
Turn off all burners, and wait for them to cool.
