General Grill Cleaning, Storing Your Grill

General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and

smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the

factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution

of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush

on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely

air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted

surfaces.

• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

 Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a

concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and

failure of parts can result.

• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most

residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or

specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder

for stubborn stains.

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive

cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft

nonabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality

appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water

and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease

deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning

pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.

Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.

•When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instructions before starting grill.

BURNER

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
