CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure that the burners are turned off prior to cleaning. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Clean grill in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns or patios. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any part of this gas grill. Do not use a self cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the gas grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill components unless cleaned regularly.

GRIDS AND WARMING RACK - The grids and warming rack are best cleaned during the pre-heat period with a soft brass wire brush. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. Stainless grids will discolour permanently from normal usage, due to the high temperature of the cooking surface.

CLEANING INSIDE THE GAS GRILL - Remove the cooking grid. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the insides of the lid. Scrape sear plate with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Remove the sear plate and brush debris off of the burner with a brass wire brush. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable drip pan. Ensure that the sear plate is placed properly when reinstalled (holes towards the right end of the grill), or whenever the grill is packed away for transport.

DRIP PAN - Slide the drip pan out for easy cleaning. It should be cleaned frequently (every 4-5 uses) to avoid grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings accumulate in the drip pan located under the grill. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard. Do not line the drip pan with aluminum foil, as it can prevent the proper amount of air needed for burner to operate. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean stainless steel parts. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel cleaner or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch the finish and leave small particles of ferrous metal which can promote rusting. Stainless steel parts will discolour when heated, usually to a golden or brown colour. This discolouration is normal and will not affect the performance of the grill.

INFRA-RED BURNERS - Because of the high intensity of the infra-red burner, most drippings and food particles that fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain. To remove this residue after cooking, operate the grill on high for 5-10 minutes with the lid open.
