General Grill Cleaning
•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
•Plastic Side Shelves: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic side shelves. Damage to and failure of shelf can result.

•Grease Bottle: After each use, remove bottle and rinse with hot soapy water.
•Cooler: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
CAUTION
Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.
Typical spider webs inside burner.
