COOKING GRILLS

•Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used to remove residue from the cast iron cooking surface. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cast iron cooking grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.

CERAMIC BRIQUETS

•Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the ceramic briquets to prevent excess grease build-up. When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grills. Inspect each briquet and replace briquets that are broken, chipped or damaged to the extent that it may fall through the briquet grate and onto the burner. Replace the cooking grills and light the main burner. Operate the grill on "HIGH" for 10 minutes to remove the excess grease. If purchasing replacement ceramic briquets, purchase only large briquets that will not fall through the briquet grate as grease build-up on the briquets could result in grease fire.

•Always make sure that the ceramic briquets are laying flat side down on the briquet grate.
