CARE & MAINTENANCE OF THE GRILL 
STAINLESS STEEL
Grease specks can gather and bake onto the surfaces of the stainless steel, giving the appearance of rust. For removal, use an abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner.
GRILL RACK
The best time to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed, and the flames have been turned off.
Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from heat and steam.
Scrub the hot grill by dipping a bristle barbecue brush in tap water. Cleaning will be more difficult if the grill is allowed to cool.
CAUTION
Before cleaning, make sure the gas supply and control knobs are in the “OFF” position and the burners have cooled.
GRILL BURNER CLEANING
1. Turn off the gas supply, and make sure the control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
2. Make certain the grill is cool, and clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Use a metal scraper for stubborn stains.
3. Clear clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick. It may break off and clog the port.
4. Check and clean burners/venturi tubes for insects and insect nest. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
5. If insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas to the burner, call customer service at
CAUTION
1.Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2.Do not obstruct the flow of combustible and ventilation air.
3.Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
GRILL BURNERS
Extreme care should be taken when moving a burner. It must be correctly centered on the orifice before any attempt is made to relight the grill. Frequency of cleaning will depend on how often you use the grill.
WARNING
Failure to properly place the burner over the orifice could cause a fire to occur behind and beneath the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
GRILL BURNER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION The grill burners are factory installed.
To remove the main burners for cleaning:
1.Locate the nut at the rear of the burner on the bottom side.
2.Remove the nut and lift the burner out of the fire box.
To reinstall the main burners:
3.Insert the burner over the valve assembly (Item# 20 on page 24).
4.Insert the back of the burner into the hole at the rear of the fire box and reinstall the nut.
5.Make sure orifice spud is inside the burner’s venturi as shown below.
GREASE TRAY CLEANING
The grease tray should be emptied, wiped down and washed after each use with a mild detergent and warm water solution.
A small amount of sand or cat litter may be placed in the bottom of the grease tray to absorb the grease. Check the grease tray frequently. Do not allow excess grease to accumulate and flow out of the grease tray.
