Cleaning The Cooking Surfaces
Before initial use and periodically, wash the cooking grids in
a soap and warm water solution. Use a wash cloth or
vegetable brush to clean the cooking grids.
CAUTION:
Never
try to clean the cooking grids until they are cool to the
touch.
Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining Tray and
Grease Receptacle should be visually inspected before
each grill use. Remove any grease and wash grease tray
with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Cleaning The Burner Tubes
and Burner Ports
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the burner
when cleaning the burner tubes and ports.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" follow the procedure
below at least once a month in late summer or early fall when
spiders are most active or when the grill has not been used for
a period of time.
1. Turn all burner valves to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LPG cylinder valve (clockwise) to the full OFF
position.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the LPG cylinder by
turning the Quick Coupling Nut counterclockwise.
4. Remove the cooking grids and searing plates.
5. Remove grease tray.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure is used, we
recommend you also complete the following steps to help
prolong burner life.
1. Clean rear burner ports from area below searing plate.
2. Clean front burner ports from area underneath by remov-
ing grease tray.
3. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of
burner until free of food residue and dirt.
4. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open
paper clip.
5. Inspect burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such
damage is found, order and install a new burner. After
installation, check to insure that the gas valve orifices are
correctly placed inside the ends of the burner tubes. Also
check the position of the spark electrode.
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep
this grill in top operating condition and prolong its life. By
following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, the grill
will stay clean and work properly with minimum effort.
