CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cooking Grates
The best time to 'burn-off' the cooking grates is after every use (approx. 15 minutes). The grill is
already hot from cooking thus requiring less fuel to obtain necessary temperature for 'burn-off'.
To 'burn off' or heat clean your grill, turn the burners to highest position and run for 15 minutes
with the lid closed. Then turn off the burners and use a wire brush to clean excess food residue
from the grates.
The porcelain grates have an enamel finish (similar to glass) and should be handled with care
not to chip.
Ensure the grill is cool before cleaning and conducting maintenance and with the gas supply
turned off at the natural gas shut-off valve.
Recommended Cleaning Supplies
Mild liquid dish soap, warm water, nylon cleaning pad, wire brush
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or any abrasive substance.
