MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Grill

Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a hot grill.

Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grid. Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not scrape grids.

For baked on residue use a brass (NOT STEEL) brush on the cooking grid and other components.

Burn Off

This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and is most efficient when completed after each use of the grill.

Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn off process. Opening the grill during the burn off process may cause a sudden grease fire flare up that could burn your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.

1.Turn gas knob to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to burn for ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do not allow the grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.

2.Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill to cool.

3.Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.

Grill Bottom

Periodically remove cooking grids and flare guard to clean the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with a putty knife or brass brush and rinse with water. Clean the bottom air holes with a small knife.

Burner Maintenance

Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use. This does not effect the performance of the grill. When cleaning the interior of the grill, remove the burners and clean with a brass brush. Wash with water and a mild detergent.

Grease Cup

Empty periodically.

Venturi Tubes

The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, thus ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or other small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air flow. Fire, or flashback, can occur, in and/or around obstructed venturi tubes and can cause damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe condition. To reduce risk, inspections and cleaning should be performed at least twice monthly when spiders are active. If the grill has been unused for an extended period of time inspect the tubes before using the grill.

Clean venturi tubes as follows:

1.Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack.

2.Remove the burner from the grill.

3.Lay the burner face down and remove the four retaining screws from the venturi tube plate and the burner. See Figure 23.

4.Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for the tube(s).

5.Flush with water.

6.Allow the tube(s) to dry before reinstalling.

7.Reinstall the venturi tubes and burner.

Note: Bowtie burner is shown. Follow the same steps for the H burner assembly.

Exterior

Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broilmaster® protec- tive covers are recommended. Stainless steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.

Briquettes

If the briquettes did not come clean during burn off, after cooling turn them over. The residue will burn off during warm-up for the next use.
