CARE AND CLEANING
If you are experiencing any of the following performance or safety issues, including, but not limited to;
1) barbecue not reaching temperature potential, 2) yellow burner flames, 3) the smell of gas, 4) popping
noises, 5) delayed burner ignition, 6) uneven heat, 7) flash fires, or 8) grease fires, TURN OFF YOUR
barbecue immediately and perform the following COLEMAN® Care and Cleaning regime.
Care and Cleaning Regime
Cleaning and maintaining your barbecue ensures your families safety, optimal parts performance, and a long
life for your barbecue. Perform at the start of the season, and at least twice in-season, more if the barbecue
is being used frequently or year-round.
CAUTION:
Always allow sufficient time for the barbecue to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of
its parts.
STEP ONE:
Remove and/or disassemble the following parts; cooking grates, warming rack, Even Heat™ heat
distribution plates, Even Heat™ burners and the Quick Clean™ grease management system.
STEP TWO:
Follow the care and cleaning instructions outlined below.
Burner box
• Use a plastic paint scraper to remove build-up, food residue and ashes inside the barbecue
housing and lid.
• If necessary, wash the inside of the barbecue burner box with detergent and water
solution. Always rinse and dry thoroughly before re-installing parts.
• For heavily soiled burner boxes use a crumpled piece of
aluminum foil to help remove build up.
Quick Clean™ Grease Management system channels
grease to a removable grease cup for effortless
clean-up.
The grease cup and grease tray are located below
the burner box of the appliance, accessible from the rear of
the barbecue. The grease cup and collection tray should be
emptied regularly to prevent possible flare ups, spillage or
grease fires.
• Always wait for grease to cool before removing the grease
cup or collection tray.
• Use a paint scraper to remove all build-up. Wash the grease collection tray and grease cup
with soap and water, rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing.
Even Heat™ Burners
• Remove the hardware used to assemble the burners to the carryover assembly.
(It may be necessary to use WD40 to help loosen difficult to remove hardware)
• Remove your burners from the barbecue
• Brush the surface of the burner to remove surface debris
• Clean the burner port holes using a wire or paperclip to unclog the ports. Do not use any
tools that will cause damage to or enlarge the port holes.
• Use a flexible venturi cleaning brush to clean the interior of the burner. Shake any loose
debris out of the burner, through the gas inlet.
• Use a cotton swab to remove debris from the valve gas jets
• Re-install the burner. Ensure that the burner covers the valve gas jet.
CAUTION:
Do not use anything larger in diameter than the port hole itself as this may cause damage to
the burner port holes.
Sear Stove (if applicable)
• Due to the high intensity of the Sear stove burner, most drippings and food
particles that fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some
debris and residue may remain. To remove buildup, operate the Sear stove burner
for an additional 5 minutes on “MAX”.
• If ceramic appears to be wet, remove the burner from the grill. Turn upside down to drain
the excess water. Bring indoors and dry thoroughly.
• Avoid impact with hard objects.
