General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint.
Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply
a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush to insides of
grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/
oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plated wire grate(s): wash grate(s) and drip vaporiser bar with concentrated grill
cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and store indoors between
cookouts.
• Plastic parts: wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

Do not use citrisol,
abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts.
Damage to and failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain grate(s): because of glass-like composition, most residue can be
wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use
nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
• Stainless Steel: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy
water, wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth
• Exterior Stainless Steel Parts: Use nonabrasive stainless or glass cleaners or a
spray lubricant. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth. Note: Spray lubricant is
excellent for removing fingerprints.
• Briquet and Fire grates: will eventually decompose and weaken with use.
Remove grate from grill and tap to loosen any scaling. Brush grate vigorously with a
wire brush to remove any additional scaling, rust or residue.
Repainting Your Grill
• After extended use and exposure to weather, paint on grill may deteriorate or
become spotted. Although this detracts from grill's appearance, it will not impair its
performance.
• To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and bottom with wire brush and lightly
sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding allows new paint to adhere more easily.
Wash grill lid and bottom with soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not
use a grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar. Refinish outside with heat-
resistant paint. Do not paint inside of grill.
Care Of Wood
• Wood items can be sanded lightly with fine grit sandpaper. Refinish with stain, paint
or water sealant.
