CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Grilling equipment is no exception. Your TruSearTM Infrared Burner must be kept clean and maintained properly.
TruSear Infrared Grill Burner
When finished cooking, turn the control knob to the “HI” setting and allow the burner to burn for Five Minutes. This helps to eliminate any drippings or debris that would otherwise remain on the burner, degrading the performance and reducing burner life. After the five minute
NOTE: When the TruSear infrared griller is not use, it must be covered with the provided stainless steel cover for protection from outside elements such as rain.
CAUTION
•Do not use a metal knife or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel parts.
•Do not permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surfaces, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive cloths on stainless steel, painted parts or brass parts.
•Do not use brass cleaners on the brass option parts. They are coated with an epoxy coating.
Drip Tray
The drip tray pans should be removed and cleaned after each use. Allow the drippings in the the drip tray pans to cool completely before removing. To remove the drip tray pans, simply remove the pans from the tray. Place the trays in hot, soapy water to clean. Wipe up any debris that may have collected in the drip tray with a hot, soapy towel. Dry and replace drip tray pans before next use.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Only authorized replacement parts may be used in performing service on the side burners. Do not repair or replace any part of the outdoor grill unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Stainless Steel* Parts
Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be peeled off. Do not expose protective plastic film on the stainless steel to heat or direct sunlight. It could melt onto the stainless steel parts and become difficult to remove. The interior should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove film residues and any dust or debris before being used, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely needed.
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for this material. If buildup occurs, do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders! If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen the material, then use a wool or nylon scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other material tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
*Under rare conditions, such as an extremely salty environment, small amounts of rust may accumulate on stainless steel parts. These small amounts of surface rust can easily be removed by applying Soft Scrub® Gel to a damp sponge and wiping with the stainless steel grain. It is important to make sure you wipe with the grain for the most efficient removal of surface rust.
