MAINTENANCE
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimal performance and safety, the following components
should be inspected and cleaned as required before use of your gas grill.
COOKING GRIDS - CAST IRON, STAINLESS ROD.
OMC Stainless Rod grids provide maximum durability and good heat
retention and good grilling performance.
OMC Cast Iron grids are coated with a porcelain enamel finish to protect
the grids and reduce the tendency of food sticking to grids. Regular use
and care improves performance and longevity of the grids.
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE:
•
Before first use and after long periods of storage, wash grids using a
light detergent and water and then rinse and dry with paper towel;
never air dry grids or use a dishwasher.
•
Immediately after washing, season cooking grids by coating grids with
an organic cold pressed cooking oil with a high smoke point, light
the grill and operate on Med/Low for 30 minutes.
Recommended cooking oils:
•
•
Avocado Oil
smoke point 500°F (260°C)
Rice Bran Oil
smoke point 490°F (254°C)
•
•
Canola Oil
smoke point 400°F (204°C)
•
Before and after each use, brush grids with a good quality bristle
brush (GrillPro Item #'s 77610, 77641) and lightly coat with a high
smoke point cooking oil. This will continue the seasoning process.
Use medium heat settings to preheat and grill to avoid burning
•
off the protective seasoned coating
Avoid applying sugar based marinades or salt to meat before grilling,
•
apply sugar based marinades at end of grilling and salt after grilling
•
Use oil based marinades, avoid water based marinades
Lightly coat food with cooking oil of your choice before grilling
•
•
Turn and rotate your grids periodically.
Ensure the surface of the grid is always coated with a light layer of oil.
•
This helps prevent rust and deterioration and improves the grids non-
stick performance.
•
If rust does occur, Burn-Off the grid, brush with a stainless steel
bristle brush and re-season
•
During long periods of inactivity, grids should be seasoned, then
stored in a dry place. The grids may be wrapped in protective plastic
food wrap. After periods of storage, Burn-Off grids, wash, dry with
paper towel and re-season with high smoke point cooking oil.
!
WARNING
If you brush the grids with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
•
If the grill is hot, use caution and oven mitts to protect your hands.
Inspect the grids carefully after brushing to ensure there are no
•
broken stainless steel bristles left on the grid.
GREASE TRAY
The grease tray is centered below the firebox. It can be easily accessed
from the side or rear. Clean the grease tray regularly to prevent grease
fires.
VAPORIZER HEAT TENTS
The Heat Ten is designed to generate smoke and vapor from the food
drippings in order to provide that authentic barbecue flavor while protecting
the burner. If residue accumulates on the Heat Tents, remove the cooking
grids and scrape the residue off the Heat Tent.
GENERAL CLEANING
Perform a Burn-Off (see below).
When gas grill is cool, remove grids, scrape the Heat Tents then remove
them from the grill.
Clean the interior of the gas grill as necessary by scraping the sides and
bottom of the cook box with a brush or scraper you can vacuum up the
remaining residue.
Rust is a natural oxidation process and may appear on internal stainless
steel parts. Rust will not affect the performance of your grill.
BURN-OFF
Ignite the burners as per "Lighting" (pg. 6).
Operate gas grill on HIGH with lid closed for 10 minutes maximum.
Turn the gas source off then turn control knobs to OFF.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and cleaned at least once
a year or after any period of storage over 30 days to ensure optimal
performance, safety and efficiency.
BURNER
Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration. Clean venturi
tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any blockages.
See "Venturi Tubes." (pg. 6) While the burner is removed, remove the
grease shields, clean the interior of cook box by scraping the sides and
bottom of the cook box and vacuuming.
HOSE
Inspect and replace if necessary. For propane see "Hose and Regulator."
(pg. 5)
EXTERIOR ALUMINUM COMPONENTS
!
If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the aluminum cook box
with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly then
wipe them with a cloth dipped in cooking oil to restore the luster. For repair
of paint scratches and scuffs, use a good quality HIGH temperature 600°F
(315°C) spray paint for touch-up.
STAINLESS STEEL & PORCELAIN COMPONENTS
Wash with soap and water. Use stainless steel cleaner or "Bar Keepers
Friend" to polish and remove stains or rust marks if they occur. Weathering
and extreme heat can cause a stainless steel lid to turn a tan color. This is
discoloration and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
RESIN COMPONENTS AND SIDE SHELVES
Wash with light detergent and water and then rinse and dry.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control valves, do
not attempt repair. See your dealer, approved service center, or contact
the factory for repairs or replacement parts. To ensure optimum
performance, use only original OMC replacement parts.
LEAK TEST
When reconnecting a gas cylinder on propane models, be sure to check for
leaks. See "Leak Testing." (pg. 5)
