Proper care and maintenance will keep your grill in good
operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these
cleaning procedures on a timely basis and your grill will
stay clean and operate with minimum effort.
CAUTION:
Be sure your grill is off and cool before
cleaning, and always wear protective gloves when
cleaning your grill.
Cleaning The Cooking Grates
Wash your cooking grates in a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth,
vegetable brush, or brass bristled brush.
Never use any type of steel bristled brush. Dry
them when finished.
Cleaning the Heat Diffusers
Wash the heat diffusers periodically in a soap and
warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to remove
stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the heat
diffusers thoroughly before you reinstall them into the
firebox.
Cleaning the Grease Tray and Pan
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease tray and
grease pan should be visually inspected before each
grill use. Remove any grease and wash both with a mild
soap and warm water solution.
Cleaning the Inside of the Grill Lid
Grease can have a tendency to build up on the inside of
the grill lid and could drip onto the deck or patio when
the lid is opened. Visually inspect the inside of the grill
lid before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash
with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Annual Cleaning of the Grill Interior
Burning-off excess food after every cookout will keep it
ready for instant use. We recommend you periodically
give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to minimize
your risk of grease fire and keep the grill in good shape.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn all burner valves to the
“
OFF
”
position.
2.
Turn the LP gas tank valve to the
“

Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check
each orifice for obstruction.
8.
Replace the burners, ensuring the burners fit
down over each valve orifice.

spacing between the tips and the burner as
necessary. The space between the electrode
tip and burner should be approximately 3/16
”
.
10. Replace the heat diffusers, grates, warming
rack, and grease tray.

burner flame for correct operation.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water
solution. A cloth, soft brush, or plastic cleaning
pad can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water
solution. Clean and polish with a stainless
steel cleaner. There are many good quality
stainless steel cleaners and polishes available.
Follow the manufacturer
’
s directions. Always
polish in the direction of the lines. Do not allow
dirt and grease to accumulate. Do not use
steel wool as it will scratch the surface. Do not
use abrasive cleaners and scrubbers.
CAUTION:
Heat, weathering, machine oils used in the
manufacturing of stainless steel, and dirt can
all cause exterior stainless steel surfaces to
turn tan in color. In addition, the following
products and naturally occurring substances in
the outdoors will damage all stainless steel
finishes. Use caution so they will not come in
contact with your grill. Immediately wash
them off and dry the stainless steel should
they ever come in contact with your gas grill.
They include, but are not limited to, pool
chemicals (chlorine and bromine), lawn
fertilizer, ice melting salts, sea or salt water,
urine, bird droppings, and tree sap.
Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in injury.
Keep grill area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion
and ventilation.
Keep the ventilation openings of the tank
enclosure cabinet free and clear of debris.
