CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All cleaning and maintenance should only be done when the appliance is cool and with the fuel supply turned off at the LP tank. DO
NOT clean any part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish. Failure to maintain your appliance may result in
damage, rust, corrosion and could be hazardous.
Suggested Cleaning Materials:
Hot or Warm water
Mild dish washing liquid detergent
Non-scratch scraping tool
Nylon/non-abrasive cleaning pad
Soft nylon bristle brush
Paper clip (burner specifically)
Small wire bristle brush (burner specific)

General Cleaning and Maintenance
1.
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2.
Do not block holes or openings in bottom or sides of appliance.
3.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
4.
Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the propane cylinder enclosed, and free and clear from debris.
5.
Clean all cooking surfaces of vessels, aluminum pots and pan with warm, soapy water and a nylon cleaning pad to avoid
oxidation, corrosion, and rusting.
Cleaning the Burner
NOTE: Spiders and small insects can spin webs and build nests inside the burner and frame. This especially occurs in late summer and fall
before frost when spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the burner and orifice. Such
a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to the appliance.
To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean, and inspect burner tubes and frame often (once or twice a month).
NOTE: Water or air pressure will not normally clear a spider web.
Steps for Cleaning the Burner:
1.
Remove orifice/hose from the burner.
2.
Look inside the burner tube for nests, webs, or mud.
3.
To remove the above obstructions, use an accessory flexible venturi brush or bend a small hook on one end of a long flexible wire.
4.
Inspect and clean the burner if needed: use wire brush to loosen corrosion from burner exterior. Clean clogged gas port holes with
an opened paper clip. Replace corroded or damaged burners that would emit excess gas.
5.
Reattach orifice/hose to burner.
Steps for cleaning the frame/stand:
6.
Remove orifice/hose from the appliance. Move the LP tank away from the unit.
7.
Look around/in the burner tube for nests, webs, or mud.
8.
Remove any debris with a soft nylon bristle brush.
9.
With a mild dish detergent and hot or warm water, wash the unit using a soft nylon bristle brush. Towel dry.
10.
Replace LP tank according to previous instructions. Reattach orifice/hose to burner.
Steps for cleaning the cooking surface/vessel:
NOTE: Griddle surface is treated with a non-toxic ceramic Triton-Tek coating to promote non-stick properties and prevent rusting of the
griddle steel core. Regular cleaning and maintenance is required to properly care for the griddle surface coating.
11.
Preheat to 350 degrees. While heated, scrape off any excess grease and debris with a non-scratch scraping tool/flat-head spatula.
12.
Turn it off and let it cool back down.
13.
Cover in warm-hot soapy water, gently scrub it down. Let it sit for around a half hour to let the soap loosen the grease.
14.
Gently wipe off the soapy water and all remaining grease.
15.
Rinse with cloth and cold water. Repeat as needed, rinsing the cloth.
