Aussie 3 ELITE manual END of Cooking Session, Cleaning the Grill

·If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly, perform a leak test before continuing use. (See Performing a Leak Test.)

·Do not operate a gas grill if you have knowledge of or suspect a gas leak.

·Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in use or hot.

·Do not lean your body over the gas grill when lighting it or while it is in use or hot.

·Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times since the grill will become very hot. Open the hood carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside.

·Do not allow children to operate or play near a gas grill. Keep animals and bystanders out of the grill area. Do not leave grill unattended.

·Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.

·When grill is not in use, turn off all grill control knobs, LP cylinder valve and disconnect the LP cylinder.

END OF COOKING SESSION

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, fire or death:

·Allow grill and grease in the Grease Cup to completely cool before emptying, handling parts, cleaning, moving or storage.

·Empty the Grease Cup after each cooking session so excessive grease does not accumulate.

·Never light the LP gas grill without the Grease Cup in place.

1)After each cooking session, close the hood and turn the grill burners to the “High” position and burn for five minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.

2)When you have finished using your grill, turn the grill Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.

3)Turn off the gas at the LP cylinder valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops.

4)Wait until the grill is cool before closing the hood, cleaning or putting on the cover.

5)Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To reduce the risk of a cut injury:

·Be careful or wear protective gloves when cleaning grill parts that have sharp edges.

CLEANING THE GRILL

1)Bottom Panel, Grease Pan, Foil Pan-Loosen the two screws on the sides holding the Drip Tray. Remove and scrape away food and fat residue from the drip tray. Empty and wash the Foil Pan and Grease Pan with hot soapy water and a cloth. The Foil Pan can be replaced with a standard size foil pan (approx.. 5-1/2” W x 8-1/2” L x 1-1/8” H) from your local grocer or retail store.

2)Grill Body and Cart-Remove excess grease and/or fat with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch painted, porcelain coated or stainless steel surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. Wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth.

3)Warming Rack-Clean if necessary.

4)Cooking Grid/Flame Diffusers. Clean the residue off with hot soap and water, or baking soda. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the stainless steel or porcelain coated surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.

5)All other Cleaning-For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water. (Avoid getting water in the Burner Holes.)

6)Burners-Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean with normal usage, provided the Burners are operating correctly. Clean the the Burners annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the burners. (See How to Clean The Burners.)

7)After cleaning, replace all the cleaned parts. Re-tighten Bottom Panel screws.
