Cleaning Tips
CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:
• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with
wire bristle brush and then turning burners to "HIGH" for approximately 5 minutes. The heat from
the 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 firebox 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 firebox. Clean and
replace grease drawer. Inspect the heat tents for damage or deterioration before reinstalling in the grill.
• Wash the grates and heat tents with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water periodically if desired.
• 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.
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.
• For painted surfaces, wash with mild detergent and non-abrasive cleaner or warm soapy water.
• For plastic and rubber parts, wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners,
grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
BURNER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
• Visually check burner flames for proper operation. 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.
