GRILL GRATES
IMPORTANT: Do not use a steel or fiber scraper on grill grates.
Immediately after you are finished cooking, loosen food soil with
a brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to HI for 10-15 minutes with
the hood closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise
the hood and let grates cool. Use the brass bristle brush to
remove ash from the grill grates.
When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough
cleaning. Clean them with a mild detergent and warm water.
For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 mL) ammonia
to 1 gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse
with water and dry completely.
