Maintenance

Cleaning the Grill

Caution: To prevent injury, do not clean a hot grill.

Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grids. Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not scrape grids.

For baked on residue use a BRASS (NOT STEEL) brush on the cooking grids and other components.

Burn Off

This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and is most efﬁcient when completed after each use of the grill.

Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn off process. Opening the grill during the burn off process may cause a sud- den grease ﬁre ﬂare up that could burn your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.

1.Turn control knobs to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to burn for ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do not allow the grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.

2.Turn control knobs and gas supply to OFF and allow the grill to cool.

3.Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.

Grill Bottom

Periodically remove cooking grids and ﬂame tamers to clean the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with a putty knife or brass brush and rinse with water. Clean the bottom air holes with a small knife.

Burner Maintenance

Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use. This does not effect the performance of the grill. When cleaning the interior of the grill, remove the burners and clean with a brass brush. Wash with water and a mild detergent.

Electrode Position

Igniter electrode tips need to be placed about 1/8” from the burner surface in order to work properly. Adjust accordingly if it is mis- aligned. See Figure 20.

Grease Tray

Empty periodically.

Exterior

Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Superb by Broilmaster® protective covers are recommended. Stain- less steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.

Venturi Tubes

The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, thus ensuring an efﬁcient ﬂame. Spiders or other small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air ﬂow. Fire, or ﬂashback, can occur, in and/or around obstructed venturi tubes and can cause damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe condition. TO reduce risk, inspections and cleaning should be performed at least twice monthly when spiders are active. If the grill has been unused for an extended period of time inspect the tubes before using the grill.

Clean Rotisserie burner and venturi tubes as follows:

1.Remove rotisserie burner back cover (5 Phillips screws - 4 on the back and 1 on the inside top).

2.Use a small ﬂexible brush to remove any debris from the venturi tubes (interior of burners).

3.Replace rotisserie burner back cover.
