CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GRANITE MAINTENANCE
Outdoors can be very harsh on the granite of your grill.
Dirt, pollen and even UV rays can affect
the granite. Please follow these instructions to preserve the granite
’s natural beauty:
- Granite is a hard, non-porous natural stone and is relatively not affected by harsh chemicals.
However, it is recommended to use a neutral cleaner or stone soap (available in hardware
stores or from a stone dealer), or a mild dishwashing liquid and warm water.
- Rinse after washing with the soap solution and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
- Blot up spills immediately, before they penetrate the surface.
- Clean as often as needed to keep grime and dirt removed.
- Granite must be sealed to prevent or minimize staining and/or fading. Leaving granite
unsealed may make it difficult to remove stains in the future. It is recommended to seal your
granite outdoors every 4-6 months depending on climate conditions.
GENERAL CLEANING
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the grill is cool. Always follow
label instructions on cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean
water and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
To avoid scratching the surface, do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
Use a vinyl grill cover to protect finish from weather.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray 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.
Rain water can collect inside of 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.
