Clean the grates after each use.

Place the grill grate into a sink and pour boiling hot water over the grate. Lay a dish
towel on top of the grate and pour more hot water over the towel. Allow the water to
soak into the residue. Scrape away debris with a soap-filled scouring pad.

Suggested cleaning for ceramic briquettes;
1) Gently place grease-saturated ceramic briquettes in a 6 quart or larger pot.
2) Fill the pot with clean water so that all ceramic briquettes are covered at least ½"
deep.
3) Bring the water to a steady boil. Once reaching a steady boil, continue to boil for 10
minutes.
4) Remove heat and allow ceramic briquettes to cool to a safe temperature.
5) Pour water off of ceramic briquettes and pat them dry on old towels or paper towels.
6) Allow ceramic briquettes to air dry for at least two hours. Some visible grease stains
may remain on briquettes after cleaning.
7) Reassemble clean, dry briquettes back into the grill before using the grill again.
•
New ceramic briquettes can be purchased from the THERMADOR eShop (order
number PABRICKBKN). See the back cover for support information.
Caution:
Ceramic briquettes must be replaced when they begin to turn black. This means that
they are saturated with fat and may smoke heavily during operation or the fat may catch
fire.

•
The porcelain enamel finish is acid resistant, but not acid proof. Acidic foods, such as
citrus juices, tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk, should be wiped up and not
allowed to bake onto the porcelain during the next use.
•
If mild abrasive cleaners are used, rub lightly as these cleansers may scratch the finish.
•
For burned on foods, soap filled fiber or steel wool pads may be used but care must be
taken as these may scratch the finish.
