Cleaning Instructions
First time use
1. Wash grids by hand with water and mild dish soap to remove
any residue from the manufacturing process. DO NOT wash in a
dishwasher.
2. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth
to prevent moisture from entering the cast iron
Cast Iron grids
• Coat the entire surface of the grids with vegetable shortening NOT
salted fats like butter or margarine.
• Preheat your grill to burn off excess residue.
• Clean grids with a brass wire brush.
• Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. Use heat resistant
grilling gloves when handling hot grids.
• Season your grids to add a protective coating to prevent corrosion
See Grilling Tips – How to season your grill.
Stainless Steel Grids
• Stainless steel cooking grids can be cleaned by preheating the grill
and using a wire brush to remove residue.
• Stainless steel grids will permanently discolor from regular use
because of high temperatures when grilling.
Infrared side burner
• Most drippings and food particles that fall on the infrared burner
surface incinerates immediately because of the high intensity heat.
• Do not clean the ceramic tile with a wire brush.
• Do not use water or other liquids to clean the burner. An immediate
change in temperature will cause cracking of the ceramic tile.
• Light burner and operate on high for 5-10 minutes to remove any
left-over residue.
Inside of the grill
1. Remove the cooking grids.
2. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the casting sides
and underneath the lid.
3. Scrape the sear plates with a putty knife or scraper. Use a wire
brush to remove the ash.
4. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with a
wire brush.
5. Sweep debris from inside the grill into the drip pan.
WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.
