Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Do not clean any part of your grill in a self-cleaning oven.
2. Do not use oven cleaners, abrasive kitchen cleaners, cleaners that contain citrus products, or mineral spirits.
3. Clean your grill regularly to prevent grease buildup, grease fires or excessive flare-ups.
4. Always allow the grill to cool down prior to cleaning.
!
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect in the bottom of the grill bowl assembly and the grease tray at the bottom of the grill's firebox.
Remove the grease from the bottom of the grill bowl assembly and grease tray regularly.
STAINLESS STEEL
Clean with multipurpose, low-abrasion, non-phosphorous metal or stainless steel polish and a soft cloth. Always
polish in the direction of the finish. Do not allow grease and dirt to accumulate. In addition, several products and
naturally occurring substances can damage all stainless-steel finishes. These include, but are not limited to,
swimming pool chemicals (chlorine and bromine), lawn and garden fertilizers, ice-melting products, sea or other
salt water, urine, bird droppings, and tree sap. Upon contact with these substances, immediately wash and dry
the stainless-steel surface and be careful to avoid burns.
OTHER EXTERIOR SURFACES
Wash with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. You can use a cloth, soft brush (non-metallic), or plastic
cleaning pad. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
COOKING GRATES AND FLAME TAMERS
Use a stiff brass brush. Wash with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent, rinse and dry.
GREASE CUP/TRAY
Check after each use. Remove and empty the grease cup when half full. Remove and clean the grease tray as
grease builds up. Both can be washed with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent.
BURNERS
We recommend you clean your burners at least twice a year, or before use if the grill has not been used in over
one month.
Small insects and spiders may enter the burner tubes. Sometimes they will build nests or spin webs that
can block or reduce the amount of gas flowing through the burner. You will usually see a smaller flame,
or a flame that is mostly yellow rather than blue, coming from the burner when this happens. Other signs
include the grill generating uneven or low heat, or difficulty in igniting the burners. In cases of severe
blockage, this can cause the flame to burn backwards, and outside of the burner tubes, which can damage
your grill and/or cause personal injury. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE FLOW OF PROPANE GAS AT THE
CYLINDER BY TURNING THE HAND WHEEL CLOCKWISE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN. Wait for the grill to
cool down and then clean all burners.
