5. Turn off the grill and open the hood let the grill cool down 10 minutes.
6. Brush burned food and dirt off with a cleansing brush intended for grills
7. Grease the cleaned grilling grids with cooking oil using e.g., paper towels or a cooking
brush.
Grease tray
You can make the cleaning easier by using a foil on top of the grease tray to collect
any
extra food and grease. When cleaning the tray, you only need to remove the dirty foil.
An unclean grease tray is the most common cause of grease fires. If you see pieces of
food or marinade on the grease tray or cup, you must clean the tray/cup immediately
by following the instructions below. The grease tray must not have pools of grease on
it.
1. Check that the grill is turned off.
2. Take the grease tray/cup out of the grill.
3. Scrape loose food and grease off using the scraper on the grill-cleaning brush or a plastic
spatula.
4. Wash the grease tray/cup with mild dishwashing liquid.
5. Dry the grease tray/cup and place it back into the grill.
Burners
The grill's burners are the most vital part for 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.
Flame tamers
The flame tamers spread the heat evenly on the grilling surface. The surface of the flame
tamers also collects food scraps and marinade. Dirty flame tamers decrease the grill's
efficiency. Clean the flame tamers by following the instructions below:
1. Check that the grill is turned off.
2. Remove the flame tamers from the grill.
3. Scrape food off the tamers´ surface using the scraper part of the cleaning brush or a
