Cleaning And Maintenance - Brinkmann 810-7405-S Para El Instalador

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

• Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
• Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
• Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under
Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or
after extended periods of storage.
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
• Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with
hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse
completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.
BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE
• Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they may corrode as a result of the extreme
heat and acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other
signs of corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by
spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners
and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow the
instructions in your grill owner's manual.
COOKING GRILLS
• Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used
to remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cooking
grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
HEAT DISTRIBUTION PLATES
• Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat distribution plate to prevent excess
grease build-up. When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grill. Inspect the heat distribution plates and
replace if broken or damaged. Do not allow heat distribution plates to become damaged to the extent
that they may fall through onto the burners. Replace the heat distribution plates and cooking grills and
light the burners. Operate the grill on "HIGH" for 10 minutes to remove the excess grease.
