CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These
can usually be removed with warm soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. As a last resort,
a mild abrasive pad could be used with a stainless cleaner. Use light pressure on the pad
and always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the polished surface.Use caution when cleaning. Metal
polish or a mild chrome cleaner can be used to bring back luster and highlights. Naval jelly
can be used to remove rust stains that occur from outside sources. Follow the naval jelly
instructions carefully.
To touch up minor scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface lightly with 160
dry grit emery sand paper in the direction of the grain.
Burners
Burners are made of stainless steel and can be soaked in water and cleaned with a brass
wire brush or a stiff bristle brush. Check every port hole for clogs. Use a wire pin (smaller than
the port) to clean clogged ports. Do not enlarge any ports. Make sure the burners are dry
before installing them back to the grill.See Fig.34.
Spiders and insects can nest inside the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to
flow from the front of the burner.This could cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel,
thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the burners at least once
a year or immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
1.The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
2.The grill does not reach temperature.
3.The grill heats unevenly.
4.The burners make popping noises.
Drip Tray
The drip tray collects excessive grease runoff and fallen food particles.
Allow the tray and its contents to cool before cleaning. Slide the tray out and wipe it clean.
Make sure the tray is installed before using the grill.
It is highly recommended that you check the tray regularly to avoid any possibility of a grease
fire; however, most of the drippings will vaporize back into the cooked item giving you an
outdoor grilled flavor.
