Cleaning
The Cooking
Grates
Wash your cooking grates
in a mild soap and
warm
water
solution.
You can use a wash cloth,
vegetable
brush,
or brass bristled
brush.
Never use any type of steel bristled
brush.
Dry
them when finished.
Cleaning
the
Heat
Diffusers
Wash the heat diffusers
periodically
in a soap and
warm
water solution.
Use a vegetable
brush to remove
stubborn
burnt-on
cooking
residue.
Dry the heat
diffusers
thoroughly
before you reinstall
them into the
firebox.
Cleaning
the Grease
Tray and Pan
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease tray and
grease
pan should
be visually
inspected
before each
grill use. Remove any grease and wash both with a mild
soap and warm
water
solution.
Cleaning
the Inside
of the Grill Lid
Grease can have a tendency
to build up on the inside of
the grill lid and could drip onto the deck or patio when
the lid is opened.
Visually
inspect
the inside of the grill
lid before each grill use. Remove any grease
and wash
with a mild soap and warm
water
solution.
Annual
Cleaning
of the Grill Interior
Burning-off
excess food after every cookout
will keep it
ready for instant
use. We recommend
you periodically
give the entire
grill a thorough
cleaning
to minimize
your risk of grease fire and keep the grill in good shape.
