Cleaning the Grill

Drip Tray:
Remove the Drip Tray under the grill bowl after the grill has cooled completely. Scrape away foo d and fat residue from
the Drip Tray. Empty and wash the Drip Tray with hot soapy water and a cloth.
Grill Body:
Remove excess grease and/or fat with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive c leaners
that can scratch painted, porcelain-coated or stainless steel sur faces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from
the body. When grill is cool, wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth. On painted grills, if rust ap pears, clean
and buff the affected area with steel wool. Touch up bare metal with a high heat p aint specified for barbeque grills.
Follow paint manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Cooking Grid/Warming R ack/Flavor Activator:
Clean the residue off with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stain s, use a non-abrasive scouring powder.
Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the plate d, porcelain-coated or stainless steel sur-
faces. This can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.
All Other Cleaning:
For further cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not immerse the G as Controls in
water. (Avoid getting water in the Burner holes.)
Burner:
Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the Burne r clean with normal usage, provided the Burner is operat-
ing correctl y. Clean the Burner annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of
blockage (debris, insects) in the Burner portholes, the prim ary air inlet, or the neck of the Burner. See How to Clean
the Burner.
CAUTION
!
To reduce risk of injury from laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling par ts with sharp edges.
