PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
•
Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
•
Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in Burner Assembly/Maintenance
under Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas
blockage.

For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or
after extended periods of storage.
•
Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION!
Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
•
Remove the cooking grill, heat distribution plate, grease pan and burner from inside your grill. Use a
brush with hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven
cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the
assembly instructions.
