DRIP TRAY

The drip tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.  

NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.

Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain water can collect
inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the
grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We 
recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use. 

COOKING GRATES

The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue
mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier
if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.

STAINLESS STEEL

After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.

Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather 
on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn appearance. For removal, use a 
non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.  

NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

IGNITER ACCESS (UNDER SIDE BURNER SHELF)

To remove igniter, unscrew igniter push button and locking nut from front panel of the side burner and igniter will fall out
through the bottom

Rotisserie Lighting/ Care and Maintenance

ROTISSERIE  LIGHTING

Open the lid. Push and turn the control knob for the rotisserie count-
er clockwise to the “HIGH” position. 

Wait 5 seconds

. Then press and hold the electronic igniter but-

ton. You’ll hear a snapping sound. If the burner does not light in 4
seconds, turn the control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before
trying again. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.
(See Fig. 29)

If the igniter does not function, the burner can be lit by holding a
lit match to the burner while the control knob
is turned counter clockwise to “HIGH”. (See Fig. 30)

NOTE: After the first use the stainless steel around the burn-
er will darken. This is a normal reaction of premium stainless
steel to heat and is not a defect. The infrared panel will also
darken after initial use. This is also a normal occurrence.

NOTE: Do Not operate the main
burners and infrared back burner at
the  same time. This can cause
warping of the roll top grill hood.
