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)Remove Drip Cup, Cooking Grid, and Flame Diffuser.

2)Drip Cup-Wash the Drip Cup with soap and water.

3)Grill Body and Cart-Do not mistake the accumulation of grease and smoke residue for peeling or flaking paint. 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 or porcelain coated surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. Wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth.

4)Warming Rack-Clean if necessary with soap and water.

5)Cooking Grid/Flame Diffuser. 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 porcelain coated surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on the Cooking Grids.

6)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.)

7)Burner-Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burner clean with normal usage, provided the Burner

is operating correctly. Clean the the Burner 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 burner. (See Burner Cleaning instructions.)

8)After cleaning, replace all the cleaned parts. Re-tighten Burner and Heat Shield screws.

SPIDER ALERT!

Should you notice that your burner(s) are getting hard to light or the flame is not as hot as it once was, Refer to the “How to Clean your Burners” Section to remove any possible obstructions.

Burner

Venturi Tube

Spider Webs or Nest	Valve
Inside Venturi Tube

Spiders or small insects can build nests, webs and lay eggs in the grills venturi tubes obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control panel causing damage to the grill and even injury to the operator. This is known as a “flashback”.

In order to prevent flashbacks, the burner(s) should be removed from the grill and cleaned periodically, especially if the grill has been stored for an extended period of time.

How to Clean the Burner:

1)Make sure the LP cylinder grill control knobs are turned OFF and the grill is completely cooled.

2)Carefully remove Drip Cup, Cooking Grid and Flame Diffuser.

3)Remove the Heat Shield under the bottom of grill Bowl by removing the screw (FIG. 15A) then the two bolts

and wingnuts securing the Heat Shield to the Left Sidebrace. (FIG. 15B) Just let the Heat shield hang on the Drip Cup holder.

4)Remove the two Burner screws from the bottom of grill Bowl. (FIG. 15C) Lift Burner out from the top of the grill.

To reduce the risk of a fire beneath the grill:

·Inspect and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests.

·Be sure burners are re-installed properly before using grill.

·Inspect burners periodically, if large cracks or holes are found, replace the Burner.
