Stainless Steel
Wipe off the outside of the grill with a damp cloth
before lighting each time. Doing so will prevent
debris such as dirt or dust from baking onto the
outside surface.
After initial usage, some area of the grill may
discolor from the intense heat given off by the
burners. This is normal.
We recommended you periodically clean the
stainless surfaces of the grill with a mild stainless
steel cleaner.
Always rub in the direction of the
grain of the metal to prevent the appearance
of swirls on the stainless surface.
Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of
the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and
give a worn appearance. For removal, use a non-
abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a
stainless cleaner.
Oceanfront property owners or others living in
close proximity to the ocean should keep the grill
covered when not in use. This will reduce the risk
damage to the stainless surface from the salt in
the air.
We do not recommend using steel wool or
abrasive sanding cloths as they may scratch
the stainless surface.
Grill Grates
An easy way to clean the grill grates is to scrub
the grates immediately after cooking. Be sure to
wear a barbeque mitt and a long sleeve shirt to
protect yourself from the heat and steam. Dip a
brass bristle brush in a bowl of tap water and
scrub the grill grates. Dip the brush frequently in
the bowl of water. Steam, created as water
contacts the grill grates, assist the cleaning food
particles will fall, and burn off with subsequent use
of the grill.
Always remove grates from the grill for cleaning if
using any type of cleaning agent. A dishwashing
liquid which contains a degreasing agent will be
sufficient to clean the grates on a regular basis.
The grates are also dishwasher safe. Be sure to
rinse thoroughly with hot water.
For heavy build- up, use a liquid spray foaming
oven cleaner and scrub with a brass brush. Use a
dishwashing liquid to remove any oven cleaner
residue. Rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Grill Interior Cleaning
It’s important to clean the interior of your grill at
least once per year.
Check to make sure the gas supply is off and the
knobs are in the OFF position. Make sure the grill
is cool. Clean the exterior of the burner with a
brass brush. Clear any clogged ports with a
straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden
toothpick as it may break off and clog a port.
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped
down periodically and washed with a mild
dishwashing liquid which contains a degreasing
agent. Do not allow excess grease to accumulate
and overflow the drip tray.
The firebox should be cleaned once per year under
normal use. If the grill is used often for entertaining
large groups, you may need to clean the firebox
more often.
Be sure to check if insects or other obstructions
area blocking the flow of gas through the burner,
and if so, call us for assistance.
