CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE COOKING GRIDS
After cooking, turn control knobs to “OFF” and let grill cool before attempting to clean your cooking grids. Before first use and periodically it is
suggested that you wash the cooking grids in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a washcloth or a vegetable brush to clean your
cooking grids.
CLEANING THE FLAME TAMERS & HEAT SHIELDS
Washing the flame tamers & heat shields after every use is not necessary but periodically it is suggested you wash them in a soap and warm water
solution. Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burned on cooking residue. Dry the flame tamers & heat shields thoroughly before you reinstall it in
the cooking insert.
CLEANING THE BURNERS
IMPORTANT:
Gas control knobs should be in the “OFF” position, and fuel line should be disconnected from gas valve manifold. To reduce the
chance of FLASHBACK, the procedure below should be followed at least once a month or when your grill has not been used for an extended
period of time.
1. Remove burners from grill by carefully lifting each burner up and away from gas valve orifice.
2. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
3. Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner.
4. After installation, check to insure that gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside ends of burner tubes. Also check position of spark electrode.
CLEANING THE GREASE TRAY
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm water solution.
ANNUAL CLEANING OF GRILL HOUSING
Burning-off the grill after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use. However, periodically the grill should be given an entire thorough cleaning
to ensure optimal performance.
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel line from gas valve manifold. Protect fuel line fitting.
2. Remove and clean (as explained above) the cooking grids, flame tamers and burners.
3. Remove warming rack and wash with mild detergent and warm water.
4. Cover the gas valve orifices with a piece of aluminum foil.
5. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a stiff wire brush, and wash down with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and
let dry.
6. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check orifices for obstruction.
7. Check electrode as instructed on page 11.
8. Replace flame tamers, cooking grids, and warming rack.
9. Reconnect to gas source and observe burner flame for correct operation.
IMPORTANT
: You should NOT line the bottom of the grill housing with aluminum foil, sand or any other grease absorbent substance. Grease will
not be able to drip down into grease collector and a grease fire could occur.
STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Stainless steel is a corrosion resistant chromium/nickel alloy steel that is both durable as well as strong with an outstanding luster. The goal of your
cleaning and maintenance routine should be to keep the stainless steel’s protective chromium oxide layer intact. This is what prevents corrosion.
Contrary to popular belief, stainless steel is NOT rustproof, especially in the environment of a swimming pool. Chlorine, bromine, some fertilizers
and other elements are extremely caustic chemicals for stainless steel. These chemicals combined with heat and humidity greatly increase the
corrosiveness of these chemicals. Regular cleaning is the best way to prevent corrosion and add years of enjoyment to your Bull stainless steel
products.
