use a brass wire brush), run the brush through the
center burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
burner tube and out burner ports. Check each port to
make sure air comes out each hole.
6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.

General Appliance Cleaning
Clean appliance often, preferably after each cookout. If a
Ÿ
bristle brush is used to clean any of the appliance cooking
surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean
surface while appliance is hot. Appliance should be
cleaned at least once a year.
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
Ÿ
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 appliance cleaner
with scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom.
Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply caustic
appliance/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Ÿ
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
Ÿ
concentrated appliance cleaner on plastic parts.
Damage to, and failure of, parts can result.
Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition,
Ÿ
most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water
solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive
scouring powder for stubborn stains.
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or
Ÿ
nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with
a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your appliance's high
Ÿ
quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm
soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use.
Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an
abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of
brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad
on areas with graphics.
Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
Ÿ
the appliance cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles
remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not
recommended to clean cooking surfaces while appliance is
hot.
Emitter: Use cleaning tool included with grill to clean off
Ÿ
residue from cooking.
