Proper care and maintenance will keep your grill in top operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these

cleaning procedures on a timely basis and your grill will stay clean and operate with minimum effort.

CAUTION: Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.

Cleaning The Cooking Grids

[] Before initial use, and periodically, wash your Cooking Grids in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean your Cooking Grids.

Cleaning The Savor Plates ®

[] Periodically you should wash the Savor Plates ® in a soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the Savor Plates ® thoroughly before you reinstall them into the cooking bowl.

Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle

[] To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining Tray and Grease Receptacle (some models) should be visually inspected before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash Grease Tray and Receptacle with a mild soap and warm water solution.

Cleaning the Inside of the Grill Lid

[] Grease can have a tendency to build up on the inside of the Grill Lid and could drip onto deck or patio when the lid is opened. Visually inspect the inside of the Grill Lid before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior

[] Burning-off excess food after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use. However,at least every 3 months you must give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to minimize your risk of grease fire and keep the grill in top shape. Follow these steps:

1.Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.

2.Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.

3.Disconnect the regulator from the gas tank. inspect

the hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts or any other damage, and replace as neccessary. Refer to the Parts List in this Operator's Manual.

4.Remove and clean the Savor Plates _, Cooking Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.

5.Cover each Gas Valve Orifice with aluminum foil.

6.Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a fiber pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.

7.Remove aluminum foil from Orifices and check each Orifice for obstruction.

8.Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed. The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and

Spark Receiver should be approximately 3/16".

g.Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas

Collector Box. The edge of the collector box should be overlapping the Burner Port.

10.Replace Savor Plates ® and Cooking Grids.

11.Reconnect the gas source and observe the Burner flame for correct operation.

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:

Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or

sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or brass brush. These will scratch stainless steel and

chip painted surfaces (varies by model) during the cleaning process.

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine

oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can also cause this tanning color. After

removing any protective PVC film from the Grill Lid or Control Panel use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish the stainless steel surfaces of your grill. Never use

abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will

scratch and damage your grill. Follow these steps for the best results.

1.Turn the LP Gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full

OFF position. Disconnect the regulator and hose assembly from LP Gas tank. Cover exposed gas fitting with aluminum foil.

2.Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth and polish stainless surfaces. Wipe with a soft cloth.

3.Remove aluminum foil from exposed gas fitting and allow grill to air dry before attaching the regulator and hose to your LP Gas tank.

Failure to comply with these instructions may

result in a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, may result in injury.

Keep grill area clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion and ventilation.

Keep the ventilation openings of the tank enclosure cabinet free and clear of debris.
