TO CLEAN KETTLE:

■While lid is warm, wipe the inside with a paper towel to prevent grease buildup.

■For outer surfaces use a warm soapy water solution and rinse well with clear water.

For a more thorough cleaning (to be done at least once a year):

1.Remove ashes after coals are fully extinguished.

2.Remove the grates and Char-Baskets.

3.Clean the porcelain finish with with a spray-on type oven cleaner. Spray surfaces heavily with the oven cleaner and leave on long enough to soften accumulated grease.

Storage

■When the Performer Grill is stored indoors, the gas supply MUST BE DISCONNECTED and the LP tank stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.

■LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well- ventilated area out of the reach of children. Disconnected LP tanks must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

■After a period of storage and/or nonuse, the barbecue should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tube before using. (See section “Maintenance.”)

■Check that the areas around the tank, hose and burner assembly are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of gas or air.
