3. Do not store the grill when it is wet. Dry thoroughly first.
4. During both summer and winter, periodically remove the cover to enable the grill to air
out, and get rid of any built up condensation.
5. Light surface rust may be easily removed with a rag, soaked in white vinegar, or using a
commercial rust remover. Dry the affected area and apply a coating of rust preventing
fluid, available at most auto stores.
6. Chipped enamel can be treated with touch-up paint to cover the bare metal surface.
CLEANING
Do not wash any parts of the grill in a dishwasher.
Burners
The grill's burners are the most vital part of the grill's functionality and heating. This
is why you need to check their cleanliness and condition regularly. You must remove
and check the burners at least twice a year, particularly when the grill has been in
storage for a long
time. The small holes on the burners attract insects and spiders to nest in the
burners. Such obstructions cause the flame to burn unevenly and impurely.
Obstructions
may cause the flame to flare up outside the gas pipe, which will damage the grill
severely.
Clean the burners by following the instructions below:
1. Check that the grill is turned off.
2. Remove the grill grids and heat distributor plates.
3. Remove the burner from the fire box by loosening the mounting screw. The screw is
normally
located at the back end of the burners.
4. In some grill models, removing the burners requires that you also remove the back plates
of
the grill.
5. Some models can also be cleaned even when the burners are in place. The most
important
part is being able to access all of the small gas holes.
6. Use the brass cleaning brush intended for grills to clean the burner surfaces.
7. Ensure that the burner holes are open and clean. You can use a thin wire for this.
8. If the burner is damaged or badly corroded, replace it immediately.
9. At the same time, check that the valve nozzle is clean and intact.
10. Place the cleaned burners back into the grill.
