Care and Maintenance
Warning: If you wish to replace main burner, we
strongly recommend that you hire a professionally
trained technician to replace it. Please understand that
we will not be responsible for any liability, personal
injury, or property damage resulting from an
improperly assembled burner.
To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be
properly cleaned and covered at all times when not in use.
Wash cooking grill and charcoal grate with hot, soapy water,
rinse well and dry.
Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp
cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil
spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting. Do not coat
charcoal tray or charcoal ash tray.
If rust appears on the exterior surface of your grill, clean and
buff the affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery cloth,
Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature resistant
paint.
Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the
interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated
with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.
GRILL GRATE
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after
cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a
barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam.
Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in water and scrub the
hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water.
Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the
cleaning process by softening any food particles. If the grill
is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more
difficult.
ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY AND THE KNOBS
ARE IN THE “
○
” POSITION. MAKE SURE THE RANGE
TOP BURNER IS COOL BEFORE REMOVAL.
CLEANING GRILL BURNERS
Extreme care should be taken when moving a burner as it
must be correctly centered on the orifice before any attempt
is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will
depend on how often you use the grill.
Ensure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the “
○
”
position. Make sure the grill is cool. Clean the exterior of the
burner with a wire 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. Please note if insects or other obstructions are
blocking the flow of gas through the burner, and if so you
will need to call our customer service line 1-800-913-8999.
GREASE TRAY CLEANING
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down
periodically and wash with a mild detergent and warm water
solution. A small amount of sand may be placed in bottom
of grease tray to absorb the grease. Check the grease tray
frequently, do not allow excess grease to accumulate and
overflow out of the grease tray.
