CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Stainless Steel
The Superb gas grill is made from stainless steel. There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning meth- ods first, scrubbing in the directions of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper or scotch bright pad in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface giving the appearance of rust. To remove this grease buildup scrub with a strong degreaser in the direction of the grain. Coat with lemon oil or a stainless steel shine product to protect its finish after cleaning.
Cleaning Grill Plates
The grill plates should be cleaned regularly because of grease
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed. Be sure the burners are turned off and there are no flames before beginning. Wear a barbecue mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Using a brass bristle barbecue brush, scrub the hot grill plates. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, the cleaning process will be more difficult.
NOTE: DO NOT USE CAUSTIC CLEANERS such as oven cleaners, etc. This will damage the grid surface and void your warranty.
Side Burner Grate
The side grate is stainless steel. Do not attempt to clean a hot grate. When the grate cools it may be wiped with hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry. Never immerse a hot grate in water as the hot steam produced could cause burns.
Drip Trays
The drip trays will collect grease from the grill area. Do not attempt to remove or clean until thoroughly cooled. To avoid grease fires or flare- ups be sure to clean out the grease often.
Grill Burners
The grill burners are constructed of cast stainless steel and should only require minimal maintenance. However, they should be checked periodi- cally and cleaned if needed.
Side Burner
The side burner is constructed of cast stainless steel. Occasional cleaning of the burner ports will be necessary.
Flashback from Spiders (Figure 10)
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been found to create "flashbacks" problems. The spiders spin webs and/or insects build nests in the burner venturi tube(s). The web and/or nests can lead to gas flow obstruction which results in a "flashback" (a fire in the venturi tube(s). Clean interior of burners with a flexible, soft bristle, bottle brush in order to remove spiders, spider webs and debris.
