Before Cooking for the First Time
• Operate grill 15 minutes with grill lid closed and gas control
on HIGH. This will heat-clean internal components and
eliminate odor from paint finish of grill.
CAUTION
Handle temperatures with grill on HIGH will be too HOT
to touch with bare hands. Use hot pads or mits to handle
the grill when hot.
Turning Grill Off
Storing Your Grill
• After cooking, turn the grill off by rotating the control knob to
OFF. Control knob should pop up in the OFF position. If
control knob does not pop up, disconnect cylinder to turn
grill off and replace the regulator.
• Allow grill to cool completely before storing.
Be sure grill has cooled. Remove propane cylinder and install
protective cap over outlet threads. Remove regulator from grill
to help keep dirt out of the propane cylinder probe. Store
regulator in a heavy plastic bag and place inside grill. Fold legs
up over grill with lid in closed position.
Grill Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Problem
Probable Cause/Solution
• Allow unit to cool before cleaning. Frequency of cleaning is
determined by how often grill is used.
• DO NOT use self-cleaning oven to clean any grill part.
Extreme heat would remove any chrome plating and cause
premature rusting.
• Meat drippings will solidify in bottom of grill after a few uses.
This residue should be removed regularly. Failure to do so
could cause overflow at bottom vent openings and increase
the chance of a grease fire.
• When cleaning grill, cover work area with newspaper.
Remove grill lid and cooking grate. Loosen residue with
scraper or putty knife. Wipe away loosened residue with
paper towels.
• Inside surface of grill may be cleaned with a strong solution
of detergent and water applied with a scrub brush. Cooking
grate may be cleaned with a brass wire brush. Thoroughly
rinse grill with water and allow to completely air-dry before
using again.
• Place cooking grate and lid onto grill.
