Maintenance
Section 4
• Vacuum the large ceramic bricks to remove all loose
debris. A damp cloth or non-metallic scour pad can be
used to clean any fats/oils that are stuck to the ceramics.
Notice
Use only a damp cloth/pad (not a wet one) and water with
mild detergent. Do not use cleaning chemicals, metal scour
pads or scrape/chip at the ceramics with tools.
• Wipe down the ceramics to clean any fats/oils that were
dislodged during cleaning and to dry the ceramics if they
are damp.
• When done, replace the ceramic ring(s), cast iron cap(s)
and cook grates.
• To prevent corrosion and food from sticking during
cooking, we recommend you season the grates with
cooking oil after they have been cleaned. This can be
done by dipping a cloth in cooking oil and rubbing the
surface of the grates.
• If your grill is working sporadically, you should clean the
flame sense probe using the instructions above. If the
problem persists after cleaning, contact your authorized
service agent. If there is a service call within the warranty
period for this issue, and the flame sensor hasn’t been
cleaned per the instructions above, the warranty claim
will be rejected and the call will be billed.
Cleaning During Operation
• After each product load is removed, use the brush and
scraper tool to remove burned food particles and crumbs
from cook grates.
Cleaning The Stainless Steel Panels
n
Warning
Turn off power to unit before cleaning outer panels. If
unit has multiple power switches, ensure they are all
turned off before proceeding.
n
Warning
Refrain from touching anything electrical when you’ve got
wet hands or bare feet.
n
Warning
Do not remove any panel for cleaning.
Notice
Never wash the appliance with direct, high pressure jets of
water.
• Once the unit has cooled, external stainless steel panels
should be cleaned using a mild detergent and/or a food-
safe liquid cleaner designed to clean stainless steel. For
best results use hot water and a soft cloth.
• If required to use a nonmetallic scouring pad, but always
rub in the direction of the grain in the metal to prevent
scratching.
• Wash a small area at a time and rinse the washed area
with a clean sponge dipped into a disinfectant. Wipe dry
with a soft clean cloth.
• Do not spray chemicals into any openings (ie: slots
under lower front panel). Doing so can damage critical
components, resulting in a non-warranty service call.
• Ensure the area in front of the lower front panel is kept
clear to allow critical airflow and access to the grill.
• Keep water and/or cleaning solution away from the front
power switch(es) and the end of the power cord. Do not
spray any solution on these parts.
• If the unit is on a stand or has been moved for cleaning,
be sure to reattach the restraining cable if gas is
connected to the unit with a flexible gas hose.
