Question:
The Regulator and Hose supplied with my gas grill
does not fit the older LP Gas tank I've used for years.
Why not?
Answer:
The U.S. Government
regulates
gas appliances
and
LP Gas tanks. When regulations are changed the LP
Gas tank fittings are altered to insure compliance.
If
your LP Gas tank does not fit the Regulator and Hose
supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated
and
must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002 all LP
Gas tanks
sold
must
include
an "OPD"
Overfill
Prevention Device. The OPD tanks are identified by their
triangular-shaped
valve wheel.
This internal
device
prevents the LP Gas tank from being overfiIIed. Tanks
without an OPD valve can not be refilled.
Question:
Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated cooking grids
in the dishwasher?
Answer:
Clean your cooking grids by hand if there are any chips
or cracks in the porcelain finish and dry them thoroughly.
If no chips or cracks are present it should be safe to use
the dishwasher. Remember to dry the cooking grids tho-
roughly before placing back onto your grill to minimize
rusting.
Question:
What causes grill parts to rust and what affect does
it have on my grill?
Answer:
Rusting is a natural oxidation process and will not affect
the short term performance of your grill.
To slow the rusting
process
on Cooking
Grids, we
recommend
greasing the grids before and after each
cookout. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil
or vegetable
shortening
onto each grid. We do not
suggest
spray type oils unless they are specified
for
high-temperature
cooking.
If your Cooking
Grids are
Porcelain
coated, be sure to coat the entire cooking
surface
including
edges and any areas with chipped
porcelain.
Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve the
appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. The
fact is stainless steel can corrode, rust and discolor under
certain conditions. Rust is caused when regular steel par-
ticles in the atmosphere become attached to the stainless
steel surface. Steel particles can also become attached to
your grill if you use steel wool or stiff wire brushes to clean
the grill instead of non-abrasive cloth, sponge or nylon clean-
ing tools. In coastal areas rust pits can develop on stainless
surfaces that cannot be fully removed. Bleach and other
chlorine based solutions used for household and pool clean-
ing can also cause corrosion to stainless steel.
Weathering, extreme heat, smoke from cooking and ma-
chine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless
steel can cause stainless steel to turn tan in color. Although
there are many factors which can affect the surace appear-
ance of stainless steel, they do not affect the integrity of the
steel or the performance of the grill. To help maintain the
finish of stainless steel follow these cleaning procedures for
the best results:
After every use (after your grill has cooled down), wipe stain-
less surfaces with a soft, soapy cloth or sponge then rinse
with water. Be sure to remove all food particles, sauces or
marinades from stainless steel because these can be highly
acidic and damaging to stainless surfaces.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scrubbers or stiffwire brushes
of any type on your grill.
Use a heat resistant Stainless Steel Cleaner and rub or wipe
in the direction of the stainless steel grain or polish lines
NOT against the grain.
Question:
Which
is a better
cooking
surface
to grill on;
porcelain coated steel / cast-iron cooking grids or
stainless steel grids?
Answer;
They alI have their advantages. For traditional grilling and
searing meats, cast-iron or steel grids offer better heat
conductivity.
To protect
against the natural rusting
process, steel or cast-iron cooking grids offer a porcelain
finish which requires routine maintenance to keep the
grids well seasoned.
Stainless steel is popular with those who prefer less
maintenance.
A new innovative solution is available on select models
called Stainless Clad Therma-Core c_. T his Cooking Grid
combines a heat conducting steel core
with an easy-
to-clean stainless outer shell.
