Operating Instructions
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:
• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with a wire bristle brush
and then turning burners to “HIGH” for approximately 5 minutes. The heat from the burners will burn off most food/
grease residue from grids and heat tents and turn it to an ash like substance which will fall to the bottom of the firebox
or grease tray. After the grill cools (approximately 30 minutes) remove grids and heat tents and brush the ash and any
grease out of the firebox. Clean and replace the grease tray. Inspect the heat tents for damage or deterioration before
reinstalling in the grill.
• Wash the grids and heat tents with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water periodically if desired.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with a solution of baking soda and
water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for stubborn stains.
MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF GRILL:
• To protect your grill from excessive rust the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.
• For painted surfaces, wash with mild detergent and non-abrasive cleaner or warm soapy water.
• For plastic and rubber parts, wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners or grill
cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
• Visually check burner flames for proper operation. Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after extended
periods of storage.
CURING PROCESS

1. Lightly coat all interior surfaces (including interior of lids, cooking grates and area below the cooking surface) with
vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
2. Ignite the LP gas grill side and burn at medium temperature for one hour.
3. Let the grill cool completely and it is ready for use.
CHARCOAL GRILL AND FIREBOX
