Quick Clean Method for Grates

1.Immediately after cooking, turn off the burners. Fill a container with very hot water.

2.Using a long handled, brass barbecue brush dipped in hot water, scrub the hot grates. Use a heavy mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam.

3.Repeat. Scrub each grate with the wire brush to remove cooked on food soil. The steam created from applying water to the hot grate softens the soil, making it easier to remove.

4.Charred particles will fall into the drip tray below. Wipe out particles; replace aluminum foil liner.

Quick Clean Method for the Drip Tray

Check tray after each use.

1.Line tray with heavy foil.

2.Spread thin layer of sand or bird gravel over foil to absorb grease.

3.When time to replace foil liner and sand, pull corners of foil to center, bundle and throw away.

Cleaning the Overhead Hood

▲! CAUTION: Keep the exhaust hood free of grease build-up. It is recommended that the grease collection tray and the baffles be removed and cleaned after each use when grilling large amounts of meats, or meats with high fat content. Clean the interior surfaces of the hood frequently.
