Burner Maintenance

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

(Continued)

Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and espe- cially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill and its components are cool before cleaning. In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.

Porcelain coated Cooking Surfaces

(Deluxe & Elite Series Only)

Most residue on the Cooking Grids can be cleaned with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a nonabrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or other like cleaning products on the porcelain coated sur- faces. This will scratch the porcelain coating causing foods to stick.

·Check the LP gas grill for gas leaks and Burner obstructions before each use.

·Always turn off the LP gas cylinder at the

LP cylinder valve when not in use. Allow grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.

Provided that the Burner is operating correctly, in normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burner clean. The Burner should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the burner. (See Burner cleaning instructions below)

insect nests blocking the inlet hole. Normal wear and corrosion may enlarge some holes, however, if large cracks or holes are found the Burner should be replaced.

6)If grill is to be stored, coat Burner lightly with cooking oil. and Wrap in a protective cover to keep insects out.
