STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES AND OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES–
wash with a mild dish soap
and warm water. A
cloth, soft brush, or plastic cleaning pad can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. The
stainless steel used in the construction of your grill is 304 commercial grade. There are many specific stainless
steel cleaners 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.
COOKING GRATES, WARMING RACK, AND HEAT DIFFUSERS –
use a stiff brass brush. Wash with
warm water and mild dish soap as needed, rinse, and dry.
GREASE PAN AND TRAY –
check after each use. Remove and empty the Tray when half full. Remove and
clean the Pan as grease builds up. Both can be washed with warm water and mild dish soap.
BURNERS –
we recommend you clean your burners at least twice a year, or before use if the grill has not been
used in over one month.
CLEANING THE BURNERS
1. Ensure the LP gas is turned off at the LP cylinder.
2. Remove the cooking grates, heat diffusers, and grease tray.
3. Remove the Phillips Head screws located at the back end of each burner. Remove the nut and bolt
which secures the burner to the electronic igniter.
4. Lift each burner up and out.
5. Clean the inside of the burner using a stiff wire. A straightened coat hanger is one suggested tool. An
alternative way to clean the inside of the burner is using compressed air. Always wear eye protection if
using this method.
Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
6. Brush the outer surface of the burner.
7. Ensure all ports (holes) are free of all debris
8. Inspect the burner. Replace if any cracks or enlarged holes.
9. Reinstall the burners making sure the burners seat over the
valves as shown in the figure to the right.
10. Secure the back of the burners to the firebox with the Phillips
Head screws and reattach to the electronic igniters.
11. Replace the grease tray, heat diffusers, and cooking grates.
12. Perform a Leak Test described earlier in this guide.

WARNING
Small insects, such as spiders, are able to access the burner tubes. Sometimes they will build nests or spin
webs. In either case, this can block or reduce the amount of gas flowing through the burner. You will
usually see a smaller flame, or a flame that is mostly yellow rather than blue, coming from the burner when
this happens. Other signs include the gill not heating evenly, not reaching temperature, or burners not
igniting. In cases with severe blockage, this can cause the flame to burn backwards, and outside of the
burner tubes, which can cause damage to your grill and/or personal injury.
IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF
THE FLOW OF LP GAS AT THE CYLINDER BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL
CLOCKWISE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN.
Wait for the grill to cool, and then clean all burners.
