Grill Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning the cooking grids:
After cooking, turn control knobs to "OFF" and let grill cool before attempting to clean your cooking
grates. Before first use and periodically it is suggested that you wash the cooking grids in a mild
soap and warm water solution. You can use a washcloth or a vegetable brush to clean your cooking
grates.
Remove the Burners:
1. Remove the grill racks and briquette trays.
2. Unscrew the fasteners securing the burners to the tray.
3. Lift the burner up.
4. Then pull to the rear of the grill so the burner head comes off the brass orifice at the front.
Cleaning the Burner:
• To maximize grill performance, clean the exterior of the burner with a abrasive scouring pad.
Remove stubborn scale with a metal scraper.
• Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may
break off and clog the port.
• Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
• Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen,
clean it with a paper clip or a pipe cleaner.
Do not allow excess grease or liquids to accumulate in the drip tray as they may create a fire
hazard.
Never use the grill without the drip tray installed.
Cleaning the drip trays:
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the grill is completely cool, remove the drip
tray by pulling it out until it comes free.
Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning product and re-install. When using an oven-
style cleaning product be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions. Many of these
cleaners are toxic and can damage the stainless steel finish if not used properly. Test on a non-
visible area of stainless steel before using on full area.
Also, check the tray after rain. If you've left the grill uncovered, you may need to remove the drip
tray to drain the water from the tray.
