After you have finished cooking, prepare for the next cookout by burning off any food residue from the grid and
Flav-R-Wave
®
in the following manner.
Cooking Grids
1.
Remove all food from the grids,
turn the control knobs to
HI
, and
operate the grill with the lid closed for
5–10 minutes or until smoking stops.
2.
Turn the control knobs to
OFF
,
then turn the gas
OFF
by closing
the LP tank valve.
3.
Use a long-handled brass wire brush
to clean the grids. Remember that the
grill is hot, so wear kitchen mitts or
use a pot-holder to handle the brush.
You do not have to wash the grids and
upper cooking rack after each cookout,
but if you wish to do so, use a mild soap
and water solution, then rinse them
thoroughly.
Never use a commercial
oven cleaner.
Porcelain Coating on Grids
Most cooking grids are coated with a
durable porcelain enamel to assist in
cleaning and reducing the tendency
of food to stick to the grid. This is
essentially a glass coating.
Some chipping may occur if the grids are
mishandled. This will not affect the use
or performance of the grids. If some rust
appears, remove the rust with a scrub
pad and coat the grid with cooking oil.
Flav-R-Wave
®
The Flav-R-Wave® is made from stainless
steel and can be removed from the grill
when cool.
Clean by hand using warm sudsy water
and a Scotch Brite® pad. A brass bristle
grill brush may also be used.
Grease Cup Holder (on some models)
The grease cup holder is located on
the grill bottom immediately below the
hole through which grease will drain.
The grease cup is not provided. The clip,
however, has been designed to hold
a standard soup can or jar. Simply snap
the can or jar into place. The grease
cup should be checked and replaced
regularly to prevent grease from
overflowing onto your patio.
Disposable Drip Pan (on some models)
The drip pan should be removed and
cleaned out or replaced after cooking
with the rotisserie. Allow the grill to cool,
then carefully pull the drip pan out of
the opening in the grill bottom. Replace
with a clean drip pan.
