General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the grill is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth
or sponge. Rinse with clean water and dry at once with a soft,
lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
Do not use steel wool to clean the grill, as it will scratch the
surface.
To avoid weather damage to finish, use vinyl grill cover. See
“Assistance or Service” section.

STAINLESS STEEL

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not
use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop
Polishing Creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths or paper towels.
Cleaners should not contain chlorine. Damage may occur.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire grill is cool. Spills
may cause permanent discoloration.
Cleaning Method:
■Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the
surface.

GRILL GRATES

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to grill grates, do not use a steel
or fiber scraper. 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.
