DRIP
TRAY
The
drip
tray
located
below
the
grill
should
be
cleaned
periodically
to
prevent
heavy
buildup
of
debris.
NOTE:
Allow
the
drip
tray
to
cool
before
attempting
to
clean.
IMPORTANT:
Do
not
leave
the
grill
outside
during
inclement
weather
unless
it
is
covered
(cover
sold
separately).
Rain
water
can
collect
inside
the
grill,
the
grill
cart
or
the
drip
tray
if
left
uncovered.
If
the
drip
tray
is
not
cleaned
after
use
and
the
grill
is
left
uncovered,
the
drip
tray
will
fill
with
water
causing
grease
and
water
to
spill
into
the
grill
cart.
We
recommend
cleaning
and
storing
the
drip
tray
after
every
use.
COOKING
GRATES
The
cooking
grates
can
be
cleaned
immediately
after
cooking
is
completed
and
after
turning
off
the
grill.
Wear
a
barbecue
mitt
and
scrub
the
cooking
grates
with
a
damp
cloth.
If
the
grill
is
allowed
to
cool
down,
cleaning
the
grates
will
be
easier
if
removed
from
the
grill
and
cleaned
with
a
mild
detergent.
Stainless
Steel
Care
and
Maintenance
It
is
a
common
misconception
that
stainless
steel
will
maintain
its
original
factory
shine
with
little
help
from
the
consumer.
Unfortunately,
this
is
not
true.
Stainless
steel
will
not
stain,
discolor,
corrode
or
rust
as
fast
as
other
types
of
steel,
but
it
is
not
fully
stain
or
weather
proof.
If
it
is
not
properly
maintained,
all
grades
of
stainless
steel
can
face
surface
discoloration,
corrosion
and
eventually
rust.
Any
stainless
steel
that
is
exposed
to
the
environment
will
require
attention
and
care
throughout
its
life
to
ensure
that
it
keeps
its
shine
and
structural
integrity.
Cleaning
the
Stainless
Steel
and
Polishing
1.
To
clean
the
stainless
steel
you
will
want
to
wash
off
all
dirt
and
debris
from
the
steel
with
warm
water.
If
you
have
tough
spots
to
clean,
then
a
degreaser
such
as
Formula
409
can
be
used.
2.
Next,
you
will
want
to
rinse
and
dry
the
steel
thoroughly
with
a
clean
towel.
Do
not
allow
the
steel
to
air
dry
as
the
standing
water
can
cause
surface
discoloration.
3.
The
last
thing
you
want
to
do
is
to
protect
to
the
unit
with
a
good
polish.
There
are
several
polishes
on
the
market
that
work
great
(Barkeepers
Friend
Polish
and
Stainless
Steel
Magic
are
a
few)
and
will
help
keep
your
grill
protected
from
the
elements
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
Most
of
these
polishes
are
toxic,
so
you
would
only
want
to
use
these
on
the
exterior
of
the
grill
(not
your
cooking
grates
or
flavorizers).
a.
You
will
want
to
apply
the
polish
to
a
clean
paper
towel
and
wipe
with
the
direction
of
the
grain
in
the
stainless
steel.
b.
There
should
be
no
excess
liquid
on
the
surface
but
it
is
acceptable
for
it
to
be
a
little
oily,
as
that
will
dissipate.
4.
If
you
have
a
situation
where
your
grill
has
developed
surface
discoloration
or
surface
rust,
then
you
need
to
clean
the
unit
as
stated
above
and
use
a
good
polish

Care & Maintenance
