Cleaning and Maintenance
To ensure a proper working unit the following proper care
and maintenance is suggested.
Cleaning Cooking Grids
We suggest you wash your cooking grids in a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or soft brush
to clean your cooking grids.
Cleaning Heat diffusers
Periodically you should wash the heat diffusers in a soap and
warm water solution. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn
burnt-on cooking residue. The heat diffusers should be dry
before you reinstall them.
Cleaning Grease Tray
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped down
periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm water
solution. A small amount of sand or cat litter may be placed
in bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease.
Check the grease tray frequently, don't allow excess grease
to accumulate and overflow out of the grease tray.
Annual Cleaning of Grill Interior
Burning-off the grill after every use will keep it ready for your
next use. However, once a year you should give the entire
grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition.
Follow these steps.
1. Turn all burner valves to full OFF position.
2. Turn LP gas tank valve to full OFF position.
3. Detach LP gas hose and pressure regulator assembly
from your gas grill. Inspect for any damage and replace as
necessary with manufacturer replacement part number found
on parts list.
4. Remove and clean heat diffusers, cooking grids and grill
burners.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush inside and bottom of grill with a nylon brush, and
wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse
thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove the aluminum foil, then reinstall heat diffusers,
and cooking grids.
8. Reconnect gas source and observe burner flame for
correct operation.
Cleaning Exterior Surface
We suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and warm
water solution. You can use a wash cloth or sponge for this
process. Do not use abrasives or a brush that might remove
finish during the cleaning process.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces
Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior stainless steel
surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine oils used in manufacturing
process of stainless steel can also cause this tanning color. Use a
stainless steel cleaner to polish stainless steel surfaces of your grill.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch
and damage your grill.
Cleaning Burner Tubes and Burner Ports
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" the procedure below should
be followed at least once a month in late summer or early fall when
spiders are most active or when your grill has not been used for a
period of time.
1. Turn all burner valves and gas tank valve to off position.
2. Detach the LP gas pressure regulator assembly from your gas grill.
3. Remove cooking grids, heat diffusers, and grease tray from the grill.
4. Remove the R clip from the burner and lift the burners up and away
from the gas valve orifice.
5. Using a bent stiff wire in the shape of a hook , air hose or a bottle
brush, run it through the burner tube and inside several times to
remove any debris.
6. Replace burners, see illustration below.
Step 1. Replace R clip.
Step 2. Take off R clip which fixes burner at the end side.
Step 3. Locate the new burner onto the orifice.
(a) Insert the burner over the main burner gas valve .
(b) Make sure the orifice stud (C1) is inside the burner venture (D1)
as shown in (Fig.23).
Step 4. Secure the main burner on the back wall use R clip, and fix on
ignite wire.
