optimum non-stick cooking surface you will
fi
rst need to ‘season’ your cooking surface with oil cooked into the steel surface- much like seasoning
a cast iron skillet.
SEASONING AND USING YOUR COOK SURFACE
To provide the non-stick surface preferred for cooking delicate food items, it is necessary to “season” the cook surface with a small amount of
vegetable cooking oil. We recommend corn oil because it produces a better seasoned surface than regular vegetable oil. First, lightly coat the
entire cooking surface with oil and then warm-up the grill on
High
for 15 minutes. Repeat this process as often as necessary to prevent food
from sticking (especially after a heavy cleaning). When cleaning your cooking surface, never remove all of the seasoning, as it’s the seasoning
that promotes a non-stick surface. A well seasoned cook surface will have a brown to black appearance, and when wiped with a white paper
towel will leave only a trace of light brown discoloration.
CARE OF YOUR COOK SURFACE
Your cook surface is manufactured from a durable steel alloy. With proper care, your cooking surface can provide a lifetime of service.
To Maintain Cook Surface -
Season often and clean using grill pad, woven nylon or plastic scouring pads (use metal brushes for stubborn
residue). We recommend you use the cook surface cleaning kit that came with your Evo grill. Use warm soapy water to clean around grill
handles and then wipe dry. The desired cook surface should be dark in color, lightly oiled, and smooth.
Storage of Cook Surface -
If you are not planning to use your grill for a period of time, it is recommended that the cook surface be cleaned
fi
rst
and then covered and stored in a dry location. If it is not possible to store the grill in a dry area then optionally remove just the cooking surface to
a dry area until its next use.
CLEANING BURNERS and BURNER SKIRT
The grill burners and burner skirt are made completely of stainless steel and require minimal service. Because the burners are not exposed, they
will likely require little cleaning. In the event the burners require cleaning use only a damp cloth with warm soapy water. Avoid spraying water
directly on burners or allowing water to enter burners through burner ports. To clean the interior and exterior of the burner skirt, use warm soap
and water with a soft cloth.
CARE OF DRIP PAN
The drip pan is made of stainless steel which requires minimal service. To clean the drip pan from food drippings,
fi
rst wipe with a paper towel
toward the drip pan waste container. Remove the stainless steel waste container when full and clean with warm soapy water, or alternatively you
can clean the waste container in a dishwasher. Final cleaning of the drip pan should be done with warm soap with water, and a soft cloth.
Notice:
Do not use steel wool, woven nylon pads, or abrasive cleaners on the drip pan because they will scratch the surface.
CLEANING THE GRILL LID
The grill lid is made of stainless steel with a stainless steel handle, a stainless steel temperature gauge, and stainless steel vent. Care must be
taken when cleaning the grill lid as to not damage the glass faced temperature gauge. To clean the grill lid and its components, use warm soap
and water with a soft cloth.
CARE FRAME
The frame is made completely from stainless steel. To clean the stainless steel parts, use warm soap and water with a soft cloth - for tough dirt
on stainless steel, use a stronger household liquid cleaner. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
STORING YOUR GRILL
Clean the cook surface and drip pan and wipe other grill surface areas clean. Store grill in dry location. When LP tank is connected to grill, store
outdoors in well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. Cover grill if stored outdoors.
