CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Stainless steel
The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless
steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from
the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.
There are many different stainless steel cleaners available.
Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in
the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches
in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with wet 100 grit
emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease
can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on
to the surface and give the appearance of rust. For removal
use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction
with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of
the grain.
Note: stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides
and sulfides especially in coastal areas. To ensure corrosion
prevention, wash all stainless steel surfaces every three to
four weeks with fresh water and stainless cleaner. Keep grill
covered when not in use.
Electrodes
Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to
damage the electrode (see Fig. 25).
To remove the U-Burners for Cleaning
Ensure gas supply has been turned off. Remove the grill
grates, then lift out the grill radiant tray. Grip the U-burner
as shown in the photo (Fig. 27) and press downwards with
your thumbs on the bracket in the back while lifting up on the
U-Burner. In some cases it may be necessary to use a screw
driver to pry open the slot to release the U-burner (Fig. 26).
Pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner air
shutter head comes off the brass orifice at the front, angle
the burner sideways, and remove. After cleaning, when
re-installing the U-Burner ensure the U-Burner is completely
level and locked in place. This is needed to ensure your grill
provides even cooking performance.
Grill burner cleaning
Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire
brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any
clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a
wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
Shake out any debris through the air shutter. Use a flashlight
to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked.
If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger
that has been straightened (See Fig. 28).
Orifice cleaning
With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a
flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage.
Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to
enlarge the hole or break off the needle.
