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is outdated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
overfilled.
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
thoroughly
before
placing
back onto your grill to
minimize
rusting.
Question:
What causes grill parts to rust and what affect does
it have on mygrill?
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 particles
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
cleaning
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 cleaning
can also cause
corro-
sion to stainless
steel.
Weathering,
extreme
heat,
smoke
from cooking
and
machine
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 surface
appearance
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:
A-8
After every use (after your grill has cooled
down), wipe
stainless
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 stiff wire
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
all 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
Therma-Core®.
This
Cooking
Grid combines
a heat
conducting
steel core
with
an easy-to-clean
stainless
outer
shell.
