Grill

(on some models)

Clean the grill immediately after cooking. 
Turn off the burner. To protect your hand 
from steam and heat, wear a barbecue mitt.
Scrub the grill with a brass bristle barbecue
brush, frequently rinsing in a bowl of water. 

The steam created softens the food particles
and assists the cleaning process. The food
particles will drop into the liner and drip tray.
Be sure to clean the drain tube, drip tray and
liner after they have cooled.

Clean the Gourmet Radiant

Tray with hot

soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Backguards
and shelf

The backguards and shelf are made of 
stainless steel. 

Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch 
the surface.

Clean with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.

If the panel and shelf have food soil
remaining, try a general kitchen cleaner, such
as Fantastik

®

, Simple Green

®

or Formula 409

®

.

For hard to clean soil use a standard stainless
steel cleaner such as Bon-Ami

®

, Cameo

®

or 

Bar Keepers Friend

®

. Apply cleaner with a

damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry. Always
scrub lightly in the direction of the grain.

After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish such
as Stainless Steel Magic

®

.
