Cleaning The Cooking Grids

CAUTION:

Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.

Take care not to chip or scratch the painted surfaces because it will void your warranty against rusting.

As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance

will keep your grill in top operating condition and prolong its life. By following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your grill will stay clean and work properlywith minimum effort.

Before initial use and periodically we suggest you wash your Cooking Grids in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean your Cooking Grids.

Cleaning The Flame Tamers

Periodically you should wash the Flame Tamers in a soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the Flame Tamers thoroughly before you reinstall them into the cooking bowl.

Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle

To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining Tray and Grease Receptacle should be visually inspected before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash

Grease Tray and Receptacle with a mild soap and warm water solution.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior

Burning-off the grill after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use. However, once a year you should give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition. Follow these steps:

1.Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.

2.Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.

. Detach the LP gas hose and regulator assembly from your gas grill. Use a 7/8" open end wrench turning the fitting counter-clockwise. Inspect for any damage and replace as necessary with Kenmore replace- ment part number found on the Parts List.

4.Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Cooking Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.

5.Cover each Gas Valve Orifice with aluminum foil.

6.Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a fiber pad or nylon brush, and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.

7.Remove aluminum foil from Orifices and check each Orifice for obstruction.

8.Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed. The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark Receiver should be approximately 3/16".

9.Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas Collector Box. The edge of the collector box should be overlapping the Burner Port.

10.Replace Flame Tamers and the Cooking Grids.

1!. Reconnect the gas source and observe the Burner flame for correct operation.

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:

Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we

suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or

sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or brass brush that might remove paint during the clean- ing process.

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine

oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless

steel can also cause this tanning color. After removing the protective PVC film from the Grill Lid and Control

Panel use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish the stainless steel surfaces of your grill. Never use abra- sive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch and damage your grill. Follow these steps for the best results.

. Turn the LP gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full OFF position. Disconnect the regulator and hose assem-

bly from LP gas tank. Cover exposed gas fitting with aluminum foil.

2.Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth and polish stainless surfaces. Wipe with a soft cloth.

3.Remove aluminum foil from exposed gas fitting and allow grill to air dry before attaching the regulator and hose to your LP gas tank.

Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam- mable vapors and liquids.
