INFRARED BURNER MAINTENANCE

General Overview

Proper care, maintenance and cleaning will help ensure a long life for your grill. Periodic cleaning will help avoid accumulations of flammable grease and other debris.

Exterior

Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broilmaster protec- tive covers are recommended. Stainless steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.

Protection of Burners

The burners of your grill are designed to provide a long life of satisfactory performance. However, there are steps you must take to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the burners to malfunction. Following are the most common causes of cracks and the steps you must take to avoid them. Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.

IMPACT WITH HARD OBJECTS - Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic. Take particular care when inserting or removing the cooking grids and accessories into or from the grill. If objects such as these fall onto the ceramic, it is likely to crack the ceramic.

IMPAIRED VENTILATION OF HOT AIR FROM THE GRILL - In order for the burners to function properly, hot air created by the burners must have a way to escape the grill. If the hot air is not allowed to escape, the burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing them to backfire, especially if the burner output is set at HIGH. If this occurs repeatedly, the burners may crack. Never operate your grill with very little or no open space at the cooking surface (the cooking grids provide sufficient open space.

Examples:

•DO NOT operate the grill on "HIGH" with the hood closed.

•DO NOT use accessories in combinations that cover more than

75% of the cooking surface with solid metal.

•DO NOT cover the entire surface with aluminum foil, a large pan, etc.

WATER AND OTHER LIQUIDS - When the burners are in operation, their intense heat is normally sufficient to vaporize any drippings, marinates or sauces that contact the surface as a by-product of grilling. This does not include water thrown into the grill to douse a flame. Cold liquid contacting a hot surface in substantial amounts can cause the surface to break. Also, if the ceramic or interior of a burner becomes wet while not in use, later operation of the burner can create steam, which may produce enough pressure to crack the ceramic. In addition, repeated soaking of the ceramic will cause

it to swell and expand. This expansion will create pressure on the ceramic and cause it to crack and crumble.

To prevent burner damage caused by liquids, please do the fol- lowing:

•Never throw liquid into the grill to control a flare-up.

•Never expose the burners to the risk of soaking by rainfall, sprinklers or otherwise. We recommend that the grill be cov- ered with a heavy duty vinyl cover at all times when it is not in use. Do not attempt to operate your grill in the open air while it is raining. Finally, using the grill, close the hood as soon as the burners are off so that, if it rains, the burners will not be exposed to direct rainfall while the grill is cooling.

•If standing water is in the grill (because of exposure to rainfall, etc.) examine the ceramic burner surfaces for evidence of pos- sible water soaking. If the ceramic appears to be wet, remove the burners from the grill and turn them upside down to empty any water from the burner box. After draining all the water, place the burners indoors and allow to dry thoroughly. Also, empty any water standing in the grill's drip tray. Then, reinstall the burners. After testing for gas leaks around all fittings, resume normal use of the grill.

Cleaning

CAUTION: ALWAYS ALLOW THE GRILL TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING. DO NOT LET LIQUIDS COME IN CONTACT WITH THE BURNER SURFACE AT ANY TIME.

Grease Tray

Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are displayed.
