Cleaning and Maintenance
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Grilling equipment is no
exception. Yourgrill must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Viking highly recommends cleaning the grill after each use. A
Viking grill cover (sold separately) should also be strongly
considered in orderto protect your grill from the elements.
Porcelain Grates/Flavor Generator Plates/GrillBurners
The porcelain grill grates areeasily cleaned immediately after
cooking is complete and before turning off the flame. Wearinga
barbecue mitt to protect your hand fromheat, use a stainless or
brass 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. IMPORTANT:It is critical
that the flavor plates not be allowed to develop excess build-up
of debris over an extended period. Extreme flare-upmay occur.
For thorough cleaning of the grates and plates, allow 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 or abrasive cleaners. They could damage the
porcelain finish.
Before removingthe grates and bur ners, make surethe gas
supply is off and the knobs arein the “OFF” position. To
disassemble the grill for thorough cleaning, removeparts after
they have cooled in the following order.
Removeporcelain grill grates. Removeflavor generator plates.
