CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

All cleaning and maintenance should only be done when grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off at the L.P. cylinder. DO NOT clean any barbecue part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.

ECorrect care and maintenance will keep your grill operating smoothly. Clean internal parts of grill regularly as determined by the amount of n use and the type of foods cooked. NOTE: Clean the entire grill each year and tighten all hardware on a regular basis (1 - 2 times a year or

gmore depending on usage). Cleaning should be done where detergents won’t harm patio, lawn or the like.

COMPONENT CLEANING:

 

 

 

BURNER: Wire brush loose corrosion from burner exterior. Clean clogged gas port holes with an opened paper clip. Replace corroded or

 

damaged burners that would emit excess gas.

 

 

ALUMINUM CASTINGS: Clean casting exterior with mild liquid dishwashing detergent and hot water. Aluminum is resistant to rust but

 

extreme temperatures and weathering may cause oxidation to form white spots. To refinished castings; clean the exterior and lightly sand

 

with medium emery paper or fine sand paper. Clean off residue with vinegar water and rinse with clean water. Once dry, paint with a high

 

temperature paint. After paint has thoroughly dried, bake it on by operating grill for 15 minutes on medium heat.

 

STAINLESS STEEL: Clean with any multi purpose (low abrasive, no phosphorous) metal polish or stainless steel polish and a soft cloth to

 

prevent marring or scratching of the surface. NEVER USE OVEN CLEANER!

 

ORIFICES: Unscrew orifices from rear of valves. (Fig. 30) Wash orifices in solvent and blow air through the small end holes. Carefully

 

replace the orifices in valve when they are dry. Make certain that the orifices are tightly reassembled.

 

GRILL INTERIOR: Remove grids & porcelain heat tent. Scrape side with tools & remove excess grease & cooking residue.

DANGER

NEVER attempt to operate your grill without orifices in the valves. A serious and immediate fire hazard would result.

COOKING GRIDS AND ROCK GRATES: Clean cooking grids with mild soap and hot water. Remove stubborn residue with a mild cleanser or scrub brush. Use a brass bristle on porcelain coated grids. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner. Brush the rock grates with a wire brush to remove scale.

PORCELAIN COATED HEAT TENTS: Wipe off grease residue using a cleaning pad and a brass bristle brush to knock off residue. Use care not to damage porcelain finish. Replace heat tents to their correct position.
