CLEANING OTHER PARTS OF YOUR APPLIANCE
General Grill Cleaning: Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
BURNER:
At least twice a year, clean your burner when cleaning the venturi tubes. The burner can be gently scraped clean with a brass bristle brush. Ensure that all burner ports (openings) are clear (DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS). If you find cracks, abnormal holes, or damage caused by corrosion during your inspection and cleaning, replace burner. (SEE WARRANTY).
IGNITOR:
Clean the ignitor clip lightly using a wire brush to remove rust and grease.
DO NOT USE WATER OR CLEAN THE ELECTRODE WITH THE WIRE BRUSH.
Visually inspect the ceramic of the electrode for cracks. The electrode can be wiped with a soft cloth if necessary. If a crack is found, a replacement ignitor system will be required.
CLEANING GRIDS:
After each use, scrub the cooking grids with a stiff long-handled brass brush. Do not use steel brushes, as they can scratch the nickel or porcelain coating. Grids can also be washed with mild detergent. Never use commercial oven cleaners. If rust appears on your cooking grids, remove the rust with a scrub pad and coat the grid with some cooking oil. If excessive wear is evident, you might want to replace or upgrade your cooking grid.
PORCELAIN SURFACES:
Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
PAINTED SURFACES:
Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES:
To maintain your grill's high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. 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.
SIDE SHELVES:
Metal Shelves: Use any household cleaner, except those containing acid or mineral spirits. Be sure to rinse well after cleaning.
DO NOT USE AS A CUTTING BOARD.
Plastic Shelves: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. A Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
PLASTIC PARTS:
Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. A Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
CASTING INTERIOR AND WARMING RACK:
At least once a year remove all components from inside your barbeque. Loosen any cooking residue with a scraping tool for large particles and a brass barbeque brush for smaller particles. Scrub with hot water and a strong detergent, then rinse thoroughly or spray barbeque degreaser liberally on all interior surfaces. Be sure to use gloves and eye protection. Let stand for 10 minutes, scrape off residue and repeat if required. Rinse thoroughly with water. Replace all components as outlined in the assembly instructions.
DO NOT USE DEGREASER ON PAINTED OR PLASTIC SURFACES.
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESSIVE GREASE OR OTHER RESIDUE TO BUILD UP ON YOUR COOKING SYSTEM AS A FIRE MAY RESULT.
GREASE CUP HOLDER: The grease cup holder is located on the bottom of the base casting, immediately below the hole through which any grease will drain. The grease cup should be checked and replaced regularly to prevent grease from overflowing.
Ensure grease trap and cup are in position and clean before using
the BBQ.
!Ensure that grease trap and cup are emptied after each use. If excess grease is allowed to

COVER YOUR BARBEQUE WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO PROTECT THE SHELVES FROM THE OUTDOOR ELEMENTS.
STORAGE
More people are discovering the pleasure of year round barbequing. However, if you choose to store your barbeque for the winter or any extended length of time, follow these steps:
•Clean the cooking grids, then oil lightly with cooking oil, wrap in paper and then store the cooking grids indoors.
•Follow the same cleaning method above for the burners and any warming racks.
•Cover the barbeque if it is left outdoors.
•When the barbeque is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the L.P. cylinder valve or main shut off valve, and stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
1.With a Propane appliance you can store the barbeque inside, PROVIDED the cylinder is removed from the barbeque and stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children. When the cylinder is disconnected from the barbeque, ensure the cylinder valve safety cap is firmly threaded through onto the valve.
2.With a Natural Gas appliance, the gas must be turned off at the individual gas shut off valve and the hose must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system before storing the barbeque indoors. Install plastic covers
to quick connect fittings.
After a period of storage or non-use a leak test should be performed and the burner venturis cleaned prior to use.
!NEVER STORE A SPARE LP CYLINDER UNDER OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE OR
DANGER | IN AN ENCLOSED AREA. |
