CARE & MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE :
1) Keep the grill area clear and free from combustible materials, including spray cooking oil,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2) Keep the holes in the three sides of the cart clear and free from debris, thus ensure the
flow of combustion and ventilation air is unobstructed.
3) Visually check burner flames as following:
- Remove cooking grids and flame tamers.
- Light burners.
- Turn knobs from “HI” to “LO”, check the flame status. The flame in “LO” position should be
smaller than in “HI” position, as figure shown below.
- Periodically check flame before each use, see TROUBLESHOOTING if any
abnormal status found. Please note that altitude, wind and humidity all effect grill flame
appearance.
CLEANING:
1) STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING
Many parts of the grill are made of stainless steel. There are many different stainless steel
cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction
of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery
papers in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the
stainless steel and bake onto the surface and give the appearance of rust. Use an abrasive
pad in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner to remove.
VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE ACID DETERGENT AND/OR ANTI-RUST TO
CLEAN THE CONTROL PANEL WITH PRINTING. SUCH STRONG CLEANSERS
WILL REMOVE THE PRINTING.
2) GRILL BURNER CLEANING - Be sure the tank valve and the knobs are in the “OFF”
position. Make sure the grill is cool. The burners are secured with a cotter pin found at
the rear of the burner, this must be removed in order to clean or replace burner. Be certain
to reinstall cotter pin when completed.
- 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 that if insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas through the
burner, if unable to remove, call AEI for further assistance.
3) 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 unscented kitty litter may be
placed in bottom of the grease tray to absorb the grease.
