Daily Cleaning
1. Scrape and/or brush the cooking grates using the
tool provided or any other cleaning tool of preference
while the grates are still warm. Once the grates have
cooled, remove them from the unit and wash them in
a hot soapy solution. Dry the grates immediately after
washing and lightly season with non-toxic oil (liquid
vegetable oil or spray) before re-installing on the unit.
Properly drying and seasoning the grates will prevent
them from rusting.
DO NOT SEASON GRATES WHILE THEY ARE ON THE
APPLIANCE. SEASONING GRATES OVER AN OPEN FLAME
MAY RESULT IN DANGEROUS FLARE UPS AND/OR A FLASH
FIRE.
2. Wire brush the radiants clean using the tool provided or
any other cleaning tool of preference. Once the radiants
have cooled, remove them from the unit and wash them
in a hot soapy solution.
3. Scrape the grease trough and chute, directing any
grease/debris into the grease drawer (s). Empty the
grease drawer(s), scraping out stubborn grease/debris.
Wash the grease drawer(s) in a hot soapy solution.
4. Once the unit has cooled, accessible stainless steel
panels should be cleaned with a hot soapy solution and/
or a food safe liquid cleaner designed to clean stainless
steel. Never spray or pour water on the unit to clean.
Always disconnect electrical power before cleaning
accessible panels.
Weekly/Periodic Cleaning
In addition to the daily cleaning tasks outlined above, the
following should be done weekly/periodically:
1. Once the unit has cooled, remove the side shields from
the unit by sliding them up and then off the shoulder
bolts. Clean the side shields with a hot soapy solution
and/or a food safe liquid cleaner designed to clean
stainless steel.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE continued
2. Remove the burners and hanging shields from the unit
as follows:
• Remove the pins at the rear of the burner
• Lift the burner peg up and out of the bracket at the rear
• Slide the burner back and off the orifi ce
• Angle the front of the burner down and then remove
from unit
The burners on the far left and right of the unit should
be removed last
WHEN REMOVING BURNERS FROM THE UNIT, TAKE CARE
NOT TO MOVE AND/OR BEND THE IGNITION PROBES.
MOVING OR BENDING THE PROBES CAN CRACK THE
CERAMIC INSULATING MATERIAL, ALTER THE SPARK GAP
OR MISALIGN WITH BURNER LIGHTING PORTS WHICH MAY
RENDER THE UNIT INOPERABLE.
Clean the burners and their hanging shields in a hot
soapy solution, paying attention to ensure that all burner
ports are free and clear of debris. Pay particular attention
to the small lighting holes at the front of the burner.
These holes must remain clear to ensure the appliance
ignites and functions properly.
ENSURE THE POWER SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
3. With all the components removed from the cooking
chamber, wipe down the interior with a hot soapy
solution taking care to avoid the ignition probes. With
the cooking chamber cleaned, components can be put
back in.
WHEN PUTTING THE BURNERS BACK IN THE UNIT, TAKE
CARE NOT TO MOVE AND/OR BEND THE IGNITION PROBES.
BURNERS ON THE FAR LEFT & RIGHT SIDE OF THE UNIT MUST
BE PUT IN FIRST. ENSURE THE PINS AT THE REAR ARE RE-
INSTALLED TO SECURE THE BURNERS IN PLACE.
4. Once the unit has been returned to its original state,
verify that the burners ignite correctly. Slight front to
back adjustments may be required to ensure quick and
accurate lighting after cleaning.
