CARE AND MAINTENANCE
(Continued)
Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and espe- cially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill and its components are cool before cleaning. In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
Porcelain coated Cooking Surfaces
(Deluxe & Elite Series Only)
Most residue on the Cooking Grids can be cleaned with a baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use a nonabrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or other like cleaning products on the porcelain coated sur- faces. This will scratch the porcelain coating causing foods to stick.
Burner Maintenance
·Check the LP gas grill for gas leaks and Burner obstructions before each use.
·Always turn off the LP gas cylinder at the
LP cylinder valve when not in use. Allow grill to cool before handling parts or cleaning.
Provided that the Burner is operating correctly, in normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burner clean. The Burner should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenever heavy
