GeneralCleaning

Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain conditions. This can be caused by environmental conditions such as chlorine or salt water, or improper

cleaning tools such as wire or steel wool. It can also discolor due to heat, chemicals, or grease build-up. To maintain your grill'shigh quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm water, or use a stainless steel grill cleaner. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
