CARE & MAINTENANCE
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
Under extreme conditions, stainless steel can rust and
soft non-abrasive cloth and a stainless steel cleaner/
polish to minimize the risk of scratching the surface.
BURNERS
Ensure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the
“OFF” position. Make sure the grill is cool. Clean the
exterior of the burner with a wire brass brush. Clear
stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged
ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a
wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
GREASE TRAY CLEANING
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down
periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm
water solution. A small amount of sand or cat litter may be
placed in bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease.
Check the grease tray frequently, don't allow excess
grease to accumulate and overflow out of the grease tray.
Check your grill for the following items every six
months
Make sure the area around the grill free and clear of
combustible materials.
1.Make sure the combustion and ventilation openings
are not obstructed.
2.Make sure the ventilation openings of the cart are
not obstructed.
3.Visually check the burner flames.
4.Clean your grill as described above.
5.Check the grill for insect nests as described in the
CLEANING BURNERS section of this manual.
the rust may not be removable. These conditions may
become more prevalent in coastal areas. Always use extra
precautions while cleaning the stainless steel using a
CAUTION:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill
is cool and with the gas supply turned off at the propane
cylinder.
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.
PLASTIC PARTS
Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
PORCELAIN SURFACES
Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be
wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially
formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for
stubborn stains.
PAINTED SURFACES
Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and
warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
COOKING SURFACES
If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking
surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean
cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
CONTROL PANEL GRAPHICS
To avoid damage to control panel graphics, do not use
steel wool, abrasive cleaners or oven cleaner. Do not
spray cleaner directly onto panel.
Wash with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry with
a soft cloth. Clean around the burner labels gently;
scrubbing may remove printing.
At beginning of season and the frequency depending of
your area, clean burner venturi tubes with a flexible spring
shaft cleaning brush. Insects and spiders have a tendency
to nest in venturi tubes and block flow of gas, see CLEAN-
ING BURNERS section of this manual).
