Exterior Cleaning
When cleaning your appliance, always scrub and polish in the direction of the stainless steel grain. Wipe down the
exterior of the appliance to remove any splatter or grease. Do not use harsh abrasives. Use a stainless steel
cleaner to clean the exterior surface for a polished look. To remove baked-on foods, use a fine to medium grit non-
metallic abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner to avoid specks of grease collecting in the grain causing the
appearance of rust. Before installing the cover, always allow the surface to dry. DO NOT cover a damp appliance.
Drip Tray
Clean the drip tray after each use. Failure to do so could result in a fire. Once the appliance has cooled
completely, remove the tray by pulling it all the way out until it comes free. Clean the tray with hot soapy water and
re-install. If using an oven cleaning agent, be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid
damage to the stainless steel.
Heat Separators, Flame Tamers, Grilling and Warming Racks
To clean ( should clean after each use ), turn the main burners on HIGH for 10-15 minutes with the hood
closed. This allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away. Brush components with a stainless steel
bristle brush to remove any remaining charred materials.
Cast Stainless Steel Burners
The appliance must be completely cooled before proceeding. Make sure the gas supply is off and all control
knobs are in the “OFF” position. You must remove all cooking grids and flame tamers to expose the main burners
in the appliance. On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter pin. Remove cotter pin (unless they were removed
prior to installation into an outdoor kitchen). To remove burner, pull rod upwards and slide burner toward the rear of
the appliance. Repeat for each burner. To clean the burners, use a wire brush to clean the exterior of the burner.
Free all clogged ports of obstructions with a small metal object. Clean out any debris through the air shutter and
inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is free of any obstructions. Use a rod or pipe cleaner to remove any debris within
the burner if necessary.
NOTE:
Make sure each burner is properly placed after cleaning. It is very important to ensure the end of the
burner is installed appropriately onto the gas valve to ensure gas flows safely into the burner. Failure to meet
these conditions can cause dangerous conditions that can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
