Cleaning Other Parts of Your Appliance, Grease Tray

It is possible that very small insects could make webs or nest in the venturi tubes. This will partially or completely block the flow of gas through the venturi and is indicated by a smoky yellow flame, and/or a burner that is difficult or impossible to light. Ultimately, it

may cause the gas to burn outside the venturis, which can cause a fire resulting in damage to your grill and potential

personal injury. IF THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY SHUT

OFF THE PROPANE AT CYLINDER, OR NATURAL GAS AT MAIN SHUT-OFF VALVE. When the grill has cooled, follow the "Cleaning Venturi tubes" steps

CLEANING OTHER PARTS OF YOUR APPLIANCE

BURNER:

At least twice a year, clean your burner when cleaning the venturi tubes. The burner can be gently scraped clean with a brass bristle brush. Ensure that all burner ports (openings)

are clear (DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS). If you find cracks, abnormal holes, or damage caused by corrosion during your inspection and cleaning, replace burner with appropriate part as listed on the part list.

IGNITOR:

Clean the ignitor clip lightly using a wire brush to remove rust and grease. DO NOT USE WATER OR CLEAN THE

ELECTRODES. Visually inspect the ceramic of the electrode for cracks. The electrode can be wiped with a soft cloth if

necessary. If a crack is found, a replacement ignitor system will be required, look for O.E.M. ignition system or universal ignition system.

CLEANING GRIDS:

After each use, scrub the cooking grids with a stiff long-handled brass brush. Do not use steel brushes, as they can scratch the nickel or porcelain coating. Grids can also be washed with mild detergent. Never use commercial oven cleaners, if rust appears on your cooking grids, remove the rust with a scrub pad and coat the grid with some cooking oil. If excessive wear is evident, you might want to replace or upgrade your cooking grid.

COOKING SYSTEM:

To clean your Heat Distribution Plate scrape it with a brass bristle brush; clean using soap and water, then rinse and dry.

DO NOT ALLOW EXCESSIVE GREASE OR OTHER RESIDUE TO BUILD UP ON YOUR COOKING SYSTEM AS A FIRE MAY RESULT.

SIDE SHELVES:

Metal Shelves: Use any household cleaner, except those containing acid or mineral spirits. Be sure to rinse well after cleaning. DO NOT USE AS A CUTTING BOARD.

Plastic Shelves and Panels: Clean with dish washing liquid, then wipe dry. DO NOT USE AS A CUTTING BOARD.

COVER YOUR GRILL WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO PROTECT THE SHELVES FROM THE OUTDOOR ELEMENTS.

GRILL EXTERIOR :

The white spots that may appear on the outside of the casting are caused by the oxidation of the aluminum. This oxidation can usually be removed with soap and water. If not, you can repaint the outside casting using hi-heat grill paint.

GRILL INTERIOR, WARMING RACK:

At least once a year remove all components from inside your grill. Loosen any cooking residue with a scraping tool for large particles and a brass brush for smaller particles. Scrub with hot water and a strong detergent, then rinse thoroughly or spray grill degreaser liberally on all interior surfaces. Be sure to use gloves and eye protection. Let stand for 10 minutes, scrape off residue and repeat if required. Rinse thoroughly with water. Replace all

components as outlined in the assembly instructions. DO NOT

USE DEGREASER ON PAINTED OR PLASTIC SURFACES.

GREASE TRAY:

Your grill comes equipped with a tray for containing grease

that drips off your food. This grease tray can be accessed from the rear of the grill just under the base casting. To remove the grease tray, simply lift up on the tray and slide it out towards the rear of the grill. To install the tray, guide the front edge of the tray into the tray support rails and slide it in until the front lip of the tray drops down over the front edge of the support rails

ALWAYS BE SURE THE TRAY IS COOL WHEN REMOVING

OR INSTALLING.

IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU CLEAN THE GREASE TRAY BEFORE OR AFTER EVERY USE.

STORAGE

More people are discovering the pleasure of year round grilling. However, if you choose to store your grill for the winter or any extended length of time, follow these steps:

•Clean the cooking grids, then oil lightly with cooking oil, wrap in paper and then store the cooking grids indoors.

•Follow the same cleaning method above for the burners and any warming racks.

•Cover the grill if it is left outdoors.

•When the grill is not in use, the gas must be turned off at

the L.P. cylinder valve or main shut off valve, and stored

outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

With a Propane appliance you can store the grill inside,

PROVIDED the cylinder is removed from the grill and

stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach of

children. When the cylinder is disconnected from the grill, ensure the cylinder valve safety cap is firmly in place.

After a period of storage or non-use, a leak test should be

performed and the burner venturis cleaned prior to use.
