TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:
• Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces.
• Make sure that gas source is shut off. After moving the grill check that all gas connections
are free of leaks. Refer to instructions for Leak Testing.
• DO NOT store anything flammable near the grill.
• Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or inside the grill.
• DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.
• If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the source.
• Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• When removing the grill from storage, spider webs or other debris may be blocking the burner.
See "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under Proper Care and Maintenance.
BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
• Clean all surfaces.
• Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
• Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one
month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder
months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.
• If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.A grill cover
may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252 or 800-527-0717.
WARNING
COOKING GRILLS
•Clean with mild soap detergent and water. Abrass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used
to remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cooking
grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
CERAMIC TILES
•Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the ceramic tiles to prevent excess grease
build-up. When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grills. Inspect the ceramic tiles and replace if
broken or damaged. Do not allow ceramic tiles to become damaged to the extent that they may fall
through onto the burners. Replace the ceramic tiles and cooking grills and light the burners. Operate
the grill on "HIGH" for 10 minutes to remove the excess grease.
