CARE & MAINTENANCE OF SIDE BURNER

STAINLESS STEEL:
There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the surface. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain.
SIDE BURNER GRATE:
The top burner grate is stainless steel. To avoid burns do not clean a hot grate. They may be wiped while in place with hot, soapy water, rinsed and wiped dry. Never immerse a hot grate in water.
TROUBLE SHOOTING

1.The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2.The grill does not reach temperature.
