Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure safe and proper maintenance, we recommend you follow these directions carefully.

Clean internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the amount of use and foods cooked. The entire grill should be cleaned at least once a year.

In addition, keep the area around your grill or cart clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline,

and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

If your LP-gas grill is placed in a stationary barbecue island, keep the access door for the propane cylinder clear of any obstruction. Ensure the ventilation opening for cylinder enclosure is kept clear.

DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE GRILL.

Burners

Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make nests in the burner tubes, obstructing the gas flow. Sometimes this results in a type of fire in and around the gas tubes called “flashback”. To reduce the risk of flashback, this procedure should be followed at least once a month or when your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.

IMPORTANT: Prior to starting this procedure, turn OFF all of the gas control knobs, shut off the fuel supply, and disconnect the fuel line.

1.Remove burners from the grill by carefully lifting each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.

2.Use a wire brush to clean the outer surface of each burner to remove food residue and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire such as an opened paper clip.

3.Inspect each burner for damage (cracks and holes). If any damage is found, replace the burner and discontinue grill usage.

4.Upon reinstallation, inspect the gas valve orifices for cleanliness and condition and the location of the igniters.

Drip Pan

The full width drip pan will collect grease from the main grill area. The pan should be cleaned after every use to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to allow the drip pan to cool prior to cleaning. You may clean the drip pan with a solution of warm soapy water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.

Care of Stainless Steel

Do NOT use wire wool pads, scrappers, harsh abrasive, scoring materials, bleaches, or harsh cleaners on your cart or grill, or allow salt and vinegar mixtures to remain in contact for a long period of time. This will cause scratching, scoring, rusting and pitting.

We recommend that you clean stainless steel components with a cleaner that is approved for stainless steel and only clean when the grill is cool and in indirect light. Never use steel wool.

Covering Your Cart or Grill

When not in use and after cooling, cover your cart or grill with our full length, zippered side canvas cover. (See your local Cal Flame dealer for details.) The cover will help protect your cart or grill from detrimental effects of weather and environmental pollutants. Never put a cover on a hot grill. Allow the grill to cool before covering.

After Use Care

The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame.

Scrub the grill rack with a brass bristle barbecue brush and hot soapy water.

Wipe the grill with a damp soapy cloth and rinse with warm/hot, clean water. For more tenacious deposits, including oil, grease and water-borne deposits, use a multipurpose cream cleanser and apply with a soft, damp cloth.

Dry with a soft, dry, clean towel if preferred.
