Care & Maintenance
Page 14
GRILLING GRIDS
Routine cleaning of the grill grids is
best accomplished by scrubbing the
grids with a brass or stainless steel
brush immediately before and after
cooking, while the grill is hot. Wear a
barbeque mitt to protect your hand
from the heat while cleaning. When
needed, remove the grids from the grill
and scrub with a soap solution or oven
cleaner. Rinse thoroughly, and allow
the grids to dry completely before
reinstalling onto grill.
STAINLESS STEEL
The Grill is made from commercial
quality type 304 non-rusting and non-
magnetic stainless steel, and the
cleaning information shown on Page
11 should be followed.
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 in the
stainless steel, sand very lightly with
dry 100 grit emery paper in the direc-
tion of the grain. Specks of grease can
gather on the surfaces of the stainless
steel and bake on to the surface and
give the appearance of rust. For
removal use an abrasive pad (not steel
wool) in conjunction with stainless steel
cleaner.
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 "off" position. Make sure the grill
is completely cool.
BURNER CLEANING
AFTER EACH USE, IT IS NECESSARY
TO OPERATE ALL BURNERS ON “HI”
WITH THE HOOD OPEN FOR A MINI-
MUM OF FIVE MINUTES TO BURN
AWAY ANY FOOD PARTICLES OR
DRIPPINGS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL
RESULT IN BURNER DAMAGE AND
REDUCED COOKING PERFORMANCE.
It may occasionally be necessary to
brush, blow, or vacuum accumulated
ash from the burner surface. Do so
carefully and only when the burner is
completely cool.
Use a flashlight to inspect the burner
inlet to ensure it is not blocked, if
obstructions can be seen, use a stiff
wire to clean out the burner throat.
ORIFICE CLEANING
With the burner removed, remove the
orifice and shine a flashlight through
the openings to ensure there is no
blockage. Use a needle to clear any
debris. Be extremely careful not to
enlarge the hole or break off the needle.
TO REASSEMBLE THE BURNERS:
Replace the burner by sliding the
bracket over the brass orifice, centering
it in the hole and resting the rear of
the burner onto its supporting bracket.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO
CENTER THE BURNER ON THE
ORIFICE PROPERLY.
Make sure the burner is level and does
not rock.
Light all of the burners and check for
proper flame characteristics.
To maintain the appearance of your
SOLAIRE INFRARED Grill for many
years, keep it covered when not in
use. Backyard environments are harsh
on your grills’ finish. Long exposure to
sun, water, yard chemicals and the
elements will reduce the appearance
of the stainless steel. This is especially
applicable in ocean front locations, or
locations subject to sea mists.
SOLAIRE INFRARED Grills strongly
recommends that you cover your Grill
when not in use. To encourage this, a
high quality vinyl cover is included as
standard equipment with your grill.
ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA SURROUNDING THE GRILL
FREE FROM ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE
AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
