CARE AND MAINTENANCE

STAINLESS STEEL:

The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first,

scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with wet 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather

on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust. For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch

Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the grain.

Note:

Stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides and sulfides especial- ly in coastal areas. To ensure corrosion prevention, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks with fresh water and stainless cleaner. Keep grill covered when not in use.

ELECTRODES:

Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage the electrode (see Fig. 45).

GRILL BURNER:

Ensure gas supply has been turned off. Remove the grill grates, then lift out the grill radiant tray. Grasp the burner, pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front, angle the burner sideways, and remove.

TO REMOVE THE U-BURNERS FOR CLEANING

Grip the U-burner as shown in the photo (Fig. 46) and press downwards with your thumbs on the bracket in the back while lifting up on the U- Burner. In some cases it may be necessary to use a screw driver to pry open the slot to release the U-burner. After cleaning, when re- installing the U-Burner ensure the U-Burner is completely level and locked in place. This is needed to ensure your grill provide even cooking performance.

GRILL BURNER CLEANING:

Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Shake out any debris through the air shutter. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened (See Fig. 47).

ORIFICE CLEANING:

With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle (Fig. 47).
