Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lastslonger when maintained properly and kept clean. Grilling equipment isno exception. Your grill must be kept clean and maintained properly.
PorcelainGrates/Grill Burners
The porcelain grill grates may be cleaned immediately after cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Wearing a barbecue mitt to protect your hand from heat, use a soft bristle barbecue brush to scrub the porcelain burner grid. Dip the brush frequently in a bowl of water. Steam is created as the water contacts the hot grate. The steam assists the cleaning process by softening the food particles. For thorough cleaning of the grates, allow grates to cool, then soak 15 to 30 minutes in a hot water and detergent solution. After soaking, scrub with a teflon scouring pad. DO NOT USE a steel wool pad, abrasive cleaners or metal brush. They could damage the porcelain finish.
Before removing the grates and burners, make sure the gas supply is off and the knobs are in the "off" position. To disassemble the grill for thorough cleaning, remove parts after they have cooled in the following order:
1.Porcelain grill grates
2.Flavor generator plates
3.Stainless steel burners
4.Drip guards
Clean greasy parts with a household grease solvent such as household ammonia and water. _, WARNING: Do not use
flammable cleaning materials. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened out. Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
