It is important to clean your cooking surface regularly following the simple burn off procedure
listed below. However
, We Strongly Recommend That You Do Not Remove The Glass
Panels From Your Grill.
The beveled edges of the panels are easily chipped when you take
them out of the grill, which compromises the strength of the glass under heat causing it to
break. Also, when removing the cooking grates during cleaning, take special care not to drop
them or any other object on top of the glass panels.
Excessive Grease Build
-
up that Occurs When Smoking / Barbequing Low & Slow
Your Patio Grill is designed to incinerate food drippings and grease when grilling at medium to
high temperatures. When cooking at lower temperatures, grease will accumulate on the radiant
glass and may drip into the interior of your grill cabinet. To avoid problems with excessive
grease build up, use a pan (on top of the grates) in conjunction with a TEC barbeque or roast-
ing rack to collect grease that accumulates when cooking on lower temperatures.
CAUTION:
Always remove the grease from the roasting pan after cooking when the grill cools. Op-
erating your grill at medium to high temperatures with excessive grease build up may
cause a grease fire.
Burn
-
Off Procedure:
TEC Grills use the same self
-
cleaning concept as residential ovens, so
they are easy to clean.
1.
Light all of the burners in your grill and turn the burner control knobs to high.
2.
Close the hood and wait 10 minutes to ensure that all food drippings and debris are inciner-
ated.
3.
Turn off the burners and allow your grill to completely cool.
4.
Once the grill has cooled, carefully remove the grates and scoop out the ash and remaining
debris with a spatula. Except for appearance, it is not necessary or required to remove eve-
ry particle from the glass surface.
5.
You may also wipe the glass with a dry or damp cloth as well as the cooking grates although
this is not necessary. Do Not Take The Glass Panels Out Of Your Grill To Clean Them.
Important: Do Not Operate Your Grill On High With Excessive Grease Build Up. When
slow cooking, remove the roasting pan before beginning the self cleaning burn
-
off pro-
cedure.
No other cleaning of the glass is necessary to ensure proper function. However, to improve the
cosmetic appearance of the glass, additional cleaning may be done following the instructions
below.
Using Approved Glass Cleaners:
After you have scraped the ash off of the glass panels and wiped them with a damp cloth, you
may wish to do additional cleaning of the glass using a ceramic cleaning cream. The following
are the creams approved by the glass manufacture: ELCO/Weimann Cooktop Cleaning
Crème, Golden Ventures Cerama Bryte, Whirlpool Cooktop Cleaner.
Important: Do Not Use Abrasive Sponges Or Scouring Pads Of Any Type. Do Not Use Corro-
sive Cleaners Such As Oven Sprays, Stain Removers, or Cleaners Containing Chlorine Or Am-
monia.
