Routine Cleaning
of The Grill Interior
[]
Burning-off
excess
food
after every cookout
will keep
it ready
for instant
use. However,at

months
you must give the entire
grill a thorough
cleaning
to minimize
your risk of grease
fire and
keep
the grill in top shape.
Follow
these
steps:
1.
Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
2.
Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
3.
Disconnect
the regulator
from the gas tank. inspect
the
hose with regulator

for
cracking,
cuts or any
other damage,

Cleaning
Manufactured
Stone Surfaces:
[]
If needed,
we suggest
you wash
the manufactured
stone
surface
using
a mild soap
and warm
water
solution
only. You can use a soft soapy cloth or
sponge
then
rinse with
water.
Never use abrasive
cleaners,
any cleaner
containing
bleach,
scrubbers
or stiff wire bushes
on the stone
surface.These
can
cause
discoloration
and /or chipping
of the painted
surface.
Cleaning
Exterior
Stainless
Steel
Surfaces:
[]
Routine
care
and maintenance
is required
to preserve
the appearance
and corrosion
resistance
of stainless
steel. The fact is stainless
steel can corrode,
rust and
discolor
under
certain
conditions.
Rust
is caused
when
regular
steel particles
in the atmosphere
become
attached
to the stainless
steel surface.
Steel
particles
can also become
attached
to your
grill if you
use steel wool
or stiff wire brushes
to clean the grill
instead
of non-abrasive
cloth, sponge
or nylon
cleaning
tools.
In coastal
areas
rust pits can develop
on stainless
surfaces
that cannot
be fully removed.
Bleach
and other
chlorine
based
solutions
used for
household
and pool cleaning
can
also cause
corro-
sion to stainless
steel. Weathering,
extreme
heat,
smoke
from cooking
and machine
oils used
in the
manufacturing
process
of stainless
steel can cause
stainless
steel to turn tan in color. Although
there are
many factors
which
can affect the surface
appearance
of stainless
steel, they do not affect the integrity
of the
steel or the performance
of the grill.
[]
To help maintain
the finish
of stainless
steel follow
these
cleaning
procedures
for the best results:
1. After every use (after your grill has cooled
down),
wipe
stainless
surfaces
with
a soft, soapy cloth or sponge
then
rinse with water.
Be sure to remove
all food
particles,
sauces
or marinades
from
stainless
steel
because
these
can be highly acidic
and damaging
to
stainless
surfaces.
2. Never use abrasive
cleaners,
scrubbers
or stiff wire
brushes
of any type on your grill.
3. Use a heat
resistant
Stainless
Steel Cleaner
and rub
or wipe in the direction
of the stainless
steel grain or
polish
lines NOT against
the grain.
Failure
to comply
with
these
instructions
could
result
in a fire
or explosion
that
could
cause
serious
bodily
injury,
death
or property
damage.
• Keep
grill area
clear
and free from
combustible
materials,
gasoline
and
other
flammable
vapors
and
liquids.
• Do not obstruct
the flow of air for combustion
and
ventilation.
• Keep
the ventilation
openings
of the tank
enclosure
cabinet
free and clear of debris.
• Visually
check
burner
flames
occasionally
to
ensure
proper
flame
pattern
as shown
below.
