Care and Cleaning
Outdoor Range Top Burners
9
Burner grate
The range top burner grate is porcelain enamel
over cast iron for durability. To avoid burns, do
not clean the grate when hot. It may be wiped
while in place with hot, soapy water, rinsed and
wiped dry. Never immerse the grate in water
when hot.
Due to rapid temperature changes, the
porcelain may pop off the edges of the grate.
Do not be concerned as the base metal, cast
iron, soon darkens to blend with the porcelain
enamel. Use care when wiping areas where the
enamel has popped off. The edges may be sharp.
Stainless
steel
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use
warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or
polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction
of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel
appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the
location of a dealer nearest you, please call our

Spider and
insect
warning
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners or
orifices of this or any outdoor gas appliance.
The presence of spiders, spider webs or other
insects can cause the gas to flow from the front
of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, damaging the range top
burners and making them unsafe for use.
You should inspect the burners at least once
a year or immediately if any of the following
conditions occur:
1.
The smell of gas in conjunction with the
burner flames appearing yellow.
2.
The burners do not reach temperature.
3.
The burners heat unevenly.
4.
The burners make popping noises.
If blockage exists, clean the burners immediately.
Drip tray
A galvanized stainless steel drip tray is located
under the burners. It collects any boilovers or
spills. Pull forward to remove.
Spills should be washed off as soon as possible
to prevent “baked on” soil.
If you remove the grate for cleaning, care should be taken in
lifting it. It is very heavy. Place the grate on a protected surface.
