Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
Caution:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the
control dial and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme
heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
