2. GREASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:

Your grill is equipped with a small grease cup in the back of the unit. This cup should be emptied & cleaned
thoroughly after each use and before the grill is transported.

Your grill is designed to allow grease to flow along the bottom of the firebox, and collect in both the grease
collecting pan and the small grease cup (Fig. 14 & 15).

Both the grease pan and the cup must be cleaned on a regular basis for the system to work as designed,
and prevent grease fires.

A small amount of sand can be added to the grease pan and cup, to absorb accumulated grease.
3. COOKING GRID CLEANING:

If the grids are heavily soiled, turn your main burners on
high for 10 minutes to burn off excess deposits. (Do NOT
run the rotisserie burner at this time).

After each grilling session, clean the cooking grids with a stainless or brass wire barbecue brush. The best
method is to clean immediately after cooking, while the grill is still hot. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your
hand from heat and steam. Dip your brush frequently in tap water and scrub the hot grill. Steam created by
the hot grill assists the cleaning process by softening deposits. The food particles will fall off and be burn up
later. Never immerse ANY hot parts in water.

For final cleaning, the cooking surface can be washed with hot soapy water, utilizing a Scotch Brite scouring
pad for stubborn deposits.
4. EXTERIOR CLEANING:

Use mild dish soap and hot water to clean the outside of the grill.

Do not use any abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong degreasers etc., on the exterior of this grill; this will
scratch the stainless finish.

If using the Jackson Stainless Steel Cleaner to remove any surface corrosion be sure to go with the grain of
the finish in order to not make swirls in the stainless steel, this product is mildly abrasive and is should be
applied with a soft cloth.

Specks of grease can adhere to the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on; this will give the
appearance of rust. Use an abrasive pad with stainless steel cleaner to remove.

Sand heavy scratches lightly with 600 grit wet and dry sandpaper.

Always rinse with clean hot water.

Use a spray polish on stainless steel polish to add shine and help protect the exterior stainless steel from
surface contaminants and any corrosion.
TECH-TIP
When cleaning heavy soiling,
always polish or scrub in the
direction of the stainless steel grain.

Some cleaners may remove the silk
screened labels on the console; use
caution when cleaning the console
.
TECH-TIP
Do NOT turn on the rotisserie burner
when the main burners are being used
to clean the grill; otherwise overheat
damage to your barbecue may result.
