General Grill Cleaning

,Keep the outside of your grill looking new by cleaning it once a month with warm soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner. If you don'thave a grill cover, wipe off dust and grime before starting your grill.

,Coating the cooking grids with spray-on cooking oil will keep the food from sticking and make clean up easier. After cooking, scrape the grates with a long handled, brass wire bristle brush.

,Check inside the grill bottom for grease build up and clean often, especially after cooking fatty meat.

,Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. 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 grillloven cleaner to painted surfaces.

•Plated wire grates: Wash grates with concentrated grill cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and store indoors between cookouts.

,Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

ADo not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

•Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can bewiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive 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'shigh 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.

•Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
