CARE AND CLEANING
1.COOKING GRID: Wipe with paper towels immediately after cooking and while grease is hot. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner. Brush with brass bristle brush (available as accessory #DPA21). DO NOT use steel wire brush.
2.BURN OFF: After each use of grill - -
A.Turn gas knob to HI.
B.Close grill lid and allow grill to burn for 10 minutes or until smoke no longer comes from grill.
CAUTION: A
C. Turn gas knob to OFF and allow grill to cool.
3.INSIDE AIR HOLES: Periodically, remove grids, briquet rack, and clean. COVER orifice openings with aluminum foil and scrape accumulations inside grill with a putty knife. Clean bottom air holes with small knife. Rinse with water.
4.BURNER MAINTENANCE: Stainless steel burners often oxidize to a reddish brown color. This will not affect performance. At least twice a year, remove and clean burners with a brass - not steel - brush and a mild detergent. Spiders and other small insects can build webs or nests in the venturi tubes of a grill’s burner and obstruct the gas flow. A fire in and around the venturi tubes could occur because of the obstruction, This type of fire, known as flashback, could damage components located beneath the grill and create an unsafe operating condition. To reduce chances of flashback, frequent inspection and cleaning inside the venturi tubes is necessary. Cleanings are recommended at least twice a month during late summer and early fall when spiders are most active; cleaning is also recommended if the grill has not been used in a long while. To clean the venturi tubes, remove them and flush them out with water, then use a wire or a small flexible bottle brush to remove any debris which was not flushed out by the water. Allow the tubes to dry before reinstalling. If the grill is equipped with a side burner, its burner should also be removed along with the grill’s venturi tubes and cleaned too in the same manner as the grill’s venturi tubes. If flashback ever does occur, turn the gas knobs to their OFF position and turn off source of gas; wait until the burners cool, then remove and clean accordingly as described above. Check for damage and make any necessary repairs before using the grill or side burner again.
