General Grill Cleaning

•Keep the outside of your grill looking new by cleaning it once a month with warm soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner. If you don’t have a grill cover, wipe off dust and grime before starting your grill.

•Coating the cooking grids with spray-on cooking oil will keep the food from sticking and make clean up easier. After cooking, scrape the grates with a long handled, brass wire bristle brush.

•Check inside the grill bottom for grease build-up and clean often, especially after cooking fatty meat.

•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.

•Vaporizer Tents: Will eventually decompose and weaken with use. Remove from grill and tap to loosen any scaling. Brush vigorously with a wire brush to remove any additional scaling, rust or residue.

•Plated wire grate(s): Wash grate(s) and V- bar with concentrated grill cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and store indoors between cookouts.

•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 grate(s): Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

Repainting Your Grill

•After extended use and exposure to weather, paint on grill may change color slightly or become spotted. Although this detracts from grill’s appearance, it will not impair its performance.

•To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and bottom with wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding allows new paint to adhere more easily. Wash grill lid and bottom with soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not use a grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar. Refinish outside with heat-resistant paint. Do not paint inside of grill.
