Cleaning and care
Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off the gas at the manual valve. DO NOT clean
any grill part in a self cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning
Burning-off the grill after every use (approx.15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
