Customer Service Helpline:

Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

Daily weathering and high heat associated with grill

cooking can cause exterior stainless surfaces to

"tan". Follow these directions for best results, and

NEVER clean a hot grill.

Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel

line from gas valve manifold.  Protect fuel line

fitting.

Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth, then

polish stainless surfaces with a Foam Spray

cleaner designed for stainless steel.  Never use an

abrasive cleaner or scrubber that may scratch your

stainless surfaces.

Dry with a soft cloth and let air dry before restart-

ing grill.

As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance

will keep your grill in top operating condition and

prolong its life. By following these cleaning 

and

maintenance

 procedures on a timely basis, your grill

will stay clean and work properly with minimum effort.

NOTE: Make sure you keep your gas grill area clear

and free from combustable materials, gasoline and

other flameable vapors and liquids.  If your grill has a

tank enclosure make sure that the ventilating openings

are free and clear from debris. Also do not obstruct the

flow of air for combustion and ventilation of the grill.

Cleaning The Cooking Grids

Before initial use and periodically we suggest you wash

your  cooking grids in a mild soap and warm water

solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable brush

to clean your cooking grids.

Cleaning The Flame Tamers

Periodically you should wash the Flame Tamers in a

soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush

to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue.

Cleaning The Grease Tray

To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining Tray

should be visually inspected before each grill use.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior

Burning-off the grill after every cookout will keep it

ready for instant use. However, once a year you should

give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top

operating condition. Follow these steps:

CAUTION:

Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.

3.

1.

4.

Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a stiff

brass wire brush, and wash with a mild soap and

warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.

5.
6.

Turn all burner valves to the full OFF position.
Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
Detach the LP gas regulator assembly  from your gas

grill.
Remove and clean the flame tamers, cooking grids

and grill burners.

2.

Keeping  the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder

enclosure free and clear from debris.

7.

8.

Replace the burners and adjust the gas collector

box. The edge of the collector box should be

overlapping the burner port.
Replace flame tamers and the cooking grids.
Reconnect the gas source and observe the burner

flame for correct operation.

9.

11.

10.

Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check each

orifice for obstruction.

Check each spark electrode, adjusting as needed.

The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and
