Care and Maintenance

Cleaning the Grill

Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and espec ially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill and its
components are cool before cleaning. In order to extend the life and m aintain the condition of your grill, we strongly
recommend that the grill be covered when stored outside for any length of time, especially dur ing the winter months.
Grill Cart, Bowl and Hood:
Do not mistake the accumulation of grease and smoke residue for peeling or flaking paint. Remove excess grease an d/
or fat with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive cleane rs that can scratch painted,
porcelain-coated, or stainless steel surfaces. I t is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. When grill is
cool, wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp cloth.
Warming Rack: Clean if nec essary.
CAUTION
!
To reduce the risk of a laceration hazard, wear protective gloves when handling parts th at have sharp edges.

Warming Rack

To reduce the risk of fire or flare-up from grease drippings:
• When cooking food on the warming r ack, make sure no Burners are on directly under the Drip Pan.
• Clean grease drippings away from gr ill after each use.
WARNING
!
Warming Racks are a convenient way to cook food, keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as brea d or rolls. To
keep foods warm, set the Burners on Low or turn off all that are not neede d. When cooking food on the Warming Rack,
follow procedures for “Roasting (Indirect Cooking).” Be sure to place a pan or drip tray under the f ood.
When opening the Hood, be alert of dripping fat from the Warming Rack that c ould drip onto the back of the grill.
Always check that your Warming Rack is properly fitte d before use. Wipe away any dripping grease.

End of Cooking Session

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or burn hazard:
• Allow grill and the grease in the Dr ip Cup to completely cool before emptying, handling p arts, cleaning, moving, or
storage.
• Empty the Drip Cup af ter each cooking session so excessive grease does not accumulate.
• Never light the LP gas grill without the Drip Cup in plac e.
WARNING
!
1. After each cooking session, close the Hood and turn the Burners to the “ High” position and burn for five minutes.
This will burn off some cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. (Side Burner not af fected.)
2. When you have finished using your grill, turn the Control Knobs clockwise to the “O ff” position.
3. Turn off the gas at the LP Gas Cylinder valve by turning the handle clockw ise until it stops.
4. Wait until the grill is cool before closing the Hood, cleaning, or putting on a grill cover.
5. Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and afte r extended storage periods. To maintain the condition
and extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when stored out side for any
length of time, especially during the winter months.
