Maintenance Instructions
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep your gas grill in good operating condition
and prolong its life. By following these cleaning procedures on a regular and timely basis, your grill will
be clean and working properly with minimum effort.
Cleaning the Top Grates and Sear Grate:
After cooking, turn the knobs to the OFF position and let the grill cool down before attempting to
clean the grates.
Before first use and at least once a week when using the grill, it is suggested that you wash the
grates in a mild soap and warm water solution. Use a brash or steel wool to clean the grates. Rinse
with cold water.
Cleaning the Sear Plates:
When using the grill, at least once a week, remove the sear plates and clean them with a warm
soapy water solution and a scrub brush. Rinse with cold water.
Cleaning the Burner Tubes and Ports:
It is important that the gas control knobs are in the OFF position and the fuel line is disconnected
from the unit when cleaning the burners.
To reduce the possibility of flashback, please use the following procedures at least once per week
during heavy grill use to keep the burners clean and at least once per month during times of low
usage to keep spiders and webs out of the system.
1. Remove the grates, briquettes and sear plates from the grill.
2. Carefully scrub the burners in place with a scrub brush and soapy water
3. Use a paper clip to clean out the port holes in the burners.
4. Be careful not to damage the igniter while performing this function.
Cleaning the Grease Tray:
The grease tray should be removed, emptied and then washed in a mild soap and warm water
solution. Rinse with cold water. Do not put sand, aluminum foil or any other material in the grease
tray at any time.
Cleaning the Grill Surfaces:
To clean the exterior of the grill, use a stainless steel cleaner and wipe down thoroughly with a
sponge or cloth. Never use aluminum foil anyplace in or on your grill.
Wipe in the direction of the "grain" of the stainless steel with a non-abrasive cleaner.
