Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Porcelain Grates and Warming Rack

•The standard grates and warming rack that come with the appliance are coated with a porcelain finish. For everyday cleaning, use a soft cloth or non-abrasive pad with warm soapy water to clean all of the porce- lain parts.

•If necessary, tough stains may be removed by apply- ing full strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax

All-Purpose Cleaner or Formula 409™. To minimize wear, use the mildest cleaner needed to get the sur- face clean.

•For extremely stubborn stains, you may use a mildly abrasive cleaner or applicator, such as Soft Scrub,

Bon Ami, S.O.S. pads or other soap-filled steel wool pads. Use these cleaners with extreme care and only on occasion. Extensive use of these types of abrasives will eventually damage the porcelain enamel.

Cleaning the Drip Tray, Flame Spreaders and Optional Stainless Steel Grates and Warming Rack

•To clean the drip tray, flame spreaders and optional stainless steel racks, scrub with a solution of hot dish- washing soap and the coarse side of a sponge. When you need to clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. Use steel wool with extreme care and only on occasion. Do not use steel wool on the front of the drip tray panel. You may also use a solution of one cup of ammonia to two gallons of water.

Cleaning the Rotisserie Burner and Optional Sear Burner

•The rotisserie burner and optional sear burner are cleaned by leaving them on at high heat for five min- utes after cooking.

•If there is excessive grime and grease build up around the outside and below the sear burner, it may be removed from the grill compartment for cleaning.

caution

Gently center the hole on end of the gas supply tube on the sear burner over the feeder tube under the control panel as you reinstall it to prevent damage.

•Over time, ash may build up on the burner surface(s). Brush, blow or vacuum the ash from the burner surface(s) when the burners are cool.

Cleaning the Smoker Box

•When the smoker box and the wood remnants inside

are cool, remove it for cleaning. Dump out the wood remnants and wash the smoker box with warm water and dish soap. Rinse the box well and dry it.
