Cleaning and Care
Caution: All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off at the LP
cylinder. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
Cleaning –
Burning-off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from
building up.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING MATERIALS -
Mild dishwashing liquid detergent
Hot water
Nylon cleaning pad
Wire brush
Paper clip
Putty knife/scraper
Compressed air
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.
Outside surfaces

with care not to chip. Use mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non abrasive
scouring powder can be used on stubborn stains, then rinse with water.
If the inside surface of the grill lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked on grease buildup has turned
to carbon and is flaking off. Clean thoroughly with strong solution of detergent and hot water. Rinse with
water and allow to completely dry. NEVER USE OVEN CLEANER.
Interior of grill bottom –
Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad, then wash with
dishwashing detergent and hot water solution. Rinse with water and let thoroughly dry.

water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts.
