Proper Care And Maintenance - 3 Embers GAS8490AS Manual Del Propietário

PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:
WARNING: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain
on the cooking surfaces prior to grilling as loose bristles may attach to food.
CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:
• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with bristle brush and then
turning burners to HIGH for approximately 5 minutes.
• Make sure unit has adequately cooled before cleaning.
• Clean up of the grill after each use is required.
WARNING: DO NOT leave grill unattended when grill is on. Wear oven mitts to protect from burns.
• The heat from burners will burn off most food/grease residue from grates & heat tents and turn it to an ash like substance
which will fall to the bottom of the fi rebox or grease tray. After the grill cools (approximately 30 minutes) remove grates
and heat tents and brush the ash and any grease out of the fi rebox. Clean and replace grease cup. Inspect the heat tents
for damage or deterioration before reinstalling in the grill. Don't scrap or brush heat tents to avoid damage to screens.
(Replacements can be ordered by calling 855-735-9922.)
CAUTION: DO NOT allow ash residue to remain on grease tray or fi rebox as it could block proper grease
drainage of the grill.
INTERIOR OF GRILL LID:
• Smoke will accumulate inside grill lid and may fl ake onto your food. Clean the inside of the grill lid with scrub brush and
baking soda/water solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior of gas grill lids are not painted.
MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF GRILL:
• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.
• Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
• Stainless steel surfaces. To maintain your grill's 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 fi nish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics. Car wax may
help protect the exterior fi nish of your grill.
• Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with a solution of baking soda
and water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for stubborn stains.
• Plastic and rubber parts. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or
a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
RUST:
• Discoloration, rust and rust pits can occur as a result of high cooking temperatures, acidic marinades, grease fi res and
exposure to coastal climates or other natural elements.
• Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to
minimize rusting.
• Never use cleaners containing chlorine or store swimming pool supplies or chemicals in cart compartment as chlorine
promotes rust.
BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
• Keep appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
• Keep ventilation openings of cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
• Visually check burner fl ames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under Proper Care and
Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
• For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after extended
periods of storage.
• Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
• Remove cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot water and
detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely with water. Towel dry and
replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.
