Cleaning the Stainless Steel Cook Grate
To keep your grill operating properly, the stainless steel cook grate should be cleaned
regularly.
1. The stainless steel cook grate can be easily cleaned after the post-heating period.
As soon as the 10 minutes post-heating is completed, turn the gas off. Open the lid
with a covered hand and with the use of a brass brush, rub the grid surface.
The Ducane
®
stainless steel cook grate has been constructed of strong, sturdy stainless
steel. You will fi nd this cooking surface to be extremely durable while providing more
heat directly to your cooking surface for faster, more economical cooking.
Cleaning the Heat Distribution Plates
Your stainless steel heat distribution plates should also be brushed down with the use of
a brass long-handled brush.
Cleaning the Burner Box
Clean when cook grate and heat distribution plates are removed from burner box.
Clean out any ash or deposits from burner box using warm soapy water and a soft
cloth. Allow to dry before replacing all parts.
A small amount of grease may accumulate on the bottom of the burner box. It can be
scraped up and discarded with a fl at-blade putty knife. Use a soap and water solution
to clean after you have scraped.
Prolonged grilling with the hood in the down position may cause a grease build up
inside the hood that will begin to fl ake (this is not paint). If this develops, clean the
inside of the hood with a warm water and soap solution. Be careful not to get the
burner wet.
Preserve Your Cabinet, Control Panel and Shelf/Shelves
Your cabinet, control panel and shelves are made from stainless steel. To keep the
stainless steel looking its best is a simple matter. Clean it with soap and water, rinse
with clear water and wipe dry. It's that easy. We recommend the use of a diluted liquid
dishwashing detergent and water solution. For stubborn particles, the use of a non-
metallic brush can be used. Do not use a wire brush on your cooking shelf.
CAUTION: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners on
the lid, cabinet and shelves of your grill as this will scratch
the surface.
CAUTION: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub in the
direction of the grain to preserve the look of your stainless
steel.
Grease Fires
The recommendations in the Maintenance section, concerning cleaning our grill, and
in the Normal Operation section concerning preheating and post-heating your grill are
extremely important for two reasons:
1. Keep your grill cooking at its best by keeping the cooking surfaces and heat
transmitting components clean. Keeping your grill clean is the best way of keeping
your grill cooking properly.

Inspection and Cleaning of the Spider/Insect Screens
To inspect the Spider/Insect screens.
1. Turn "OFF" gas at source.
2. Remove the cooking grate and the heat distribution plates, exposing the burner
tubes.
2. For safety reasons. A dirty grill is susceptible to grease fi res.
Depending on the amount of cooking, the types of food cooked, the amount of
preheating and post-heating and the amount of cleaning performed on a grill, any grill
can be susceptible to a grease fi re. A build up of meat fats, cooking marinades, basting
sauces, salts, etc. can ignite and cause a severe grease fi re.
If a grease fi re were to occur on a Ducane
the burner box. A severe grease fi re could lead to a burned hose or regulator which
would allow gas to feed the fi re and, obviously, make the fi re worse.
Any type of fi re requires that the grill components (hose, regulators, LP tanks, etc...)
involved be checked for continued safe operation. If a leak is suspected, the gas supply
system (hose, manifold, tank, fi ttings, etc...) must be leak tested, using a soapy water
solution, to verify the source of the leak. If no leak is found, then the problem was most
likely a grease fi re.
A grease fi re can be severe enough to damage your grill and/or cause property damage
and/or cause bodily harm. Ducane does not want this to happen and neither do you.
Follow our cleaning recommendations to avoid grease fi res.
WARNING: Check the grease tray for grease build-up before
each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
