Care and Maintenance
• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with wire bristle
brush and then turning burners to “HIGH” for approximately 5 minutes.
• The heat from burner will burn off most food/grease residue from grates & 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 grates and heat tent and brush the ash and any grease out of the firebox. Clean and replace
grease cup. Inspect the heat tents for damage or deterioration before reinstalling in the grill. (Replacements can
be ordered by calling Toll Free: 866-475-5180)
• Wash cooking grids and heat tent with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water periodically if desired.
• Smoke will accumulate inside grill lid and may flake onto your food. Clean the inside of the grill lid with scrub
brushes and baking soda/water solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior of gas grill
lids are not painted.
• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.
• Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
• Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass-like composition, most residues can be wiped away with a solution of
baking soda and water. Use non-abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for stubborn stains.
• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
• Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in “Burner Assembly/Maintenance” under
Proper Care and Maintenance). 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.
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
• Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot
water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with
water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.

BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
WARNING: DO NOT leave grill unattended when grill is on. Wear oven mitts to protect from burns.
