CLEANING & CARE
SPIDER & INSECT ALERT
All outdoor appliances should be inspected thoroughly for spiders and insects if unit is sitting for a period
of time between uses. Propane and natural gas contain an odorant that insects and spiders are
attracted to. This leads them to build webs and nests in the burner and around the control valve. Nests
can form very quickly and are prevalent in areas with wet and humid conditions. We recommend the
regular cleaning and inspection of the burner and control valve as a form of normal maintenance.
1. Warning Signs of a nest or web:
a. The smell of gas
b. Burner is hard to light or will not light at all
2. How to clean the burner:
a. Turn off gas and completely disconnect grill from gas source. (let cool completely if previously
lit)
b. Remove burner and visually inspect inside looking for a cotton-like substance that could be a
web or nest.
c. If a mud-like substance is found, this is a sign of wasps and should be cleaned immediately
d. Use a pipe cleaner to remove any signs of web, nest, or other debris
e. Wipe off outside and each hole along burner to ensure nothing is clogging holes
f. Rinse with water if necessary
g. Dry burner thoroughly before replacing into unit.
3. How to clean the control valve orifice:
a. Turn off gas and completely disconnect unit from gas source.
b. Use small wire, needle or pipe cleaner to gently wipe away any debris from orifice.
Cleaning may be necessary to keep stainless steel pan looking new. Stainless Steel can be cleaned
with cleanser, nylon scouring pads, oven cleaner, or special stainless steel cleaner found in hardware
stores.
TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL PAN:
1. Turn off the unit and wait approximately 10-15 minutes before attempting to clean. Stainless steel
pan will be hot from residual steam and will still be warm to touch so wear protective gloves if
necessary.
2. Drain water from unit and wipe dry with cloth
3. Store steam table outside or inside. We recommend you invest in one of our high-quality vinyl
covers.
