Meco Bonza Deluxe Series - Manual (Page 29)

Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and espe-
cially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the grill and
its components are cool before cleaning. In order to extend
the life and maintain the condition of your grill, we strongly
recommend that the unit be covered when stored outside
for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
Most residue on the Cooking Grids can be cleaned with a
baking soda and water solution. For stubborn stains, use
a non abrasive scouring powder. Do not use steel wool or
other like cleaning products on the porcelain coated sur-
faces. This will scratch the porcelain coating causing foods
to stick.
Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burners
clean, provided the burners are free from any blockage. The
burners should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenev-
er heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs
of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes,
the primary air inlet, or the neck of the cast iron burners. (See
burner cleaning instructions below)
How to clean porcelain coated cast iron burners
1) Make sure the LP cylinder and Grill control knobs are
turned off. (See Figure below)
2) Carefully remove Cooking Grids. Rotate the Flavor
Activators open to access burners.
3) Remove the burners, by first removing cotter pin from
each burner peg located at rear end of burner. (See
Figure below)
4) Remove each burner from the grill.
5) Clean burners. Use a pipe cleaner to clear obstructions
from the burner holes and inlet hole. A brass wire
brush can be used to remove corrosion and food par-
ticles from the burner surfaces. (See Figure below) Verify
that there are no insects or insect nests blocking the inlet
hole.
Note: It is normal for surface rust to be present on the
burners.
6) Once all burners are cleaned, place each burner back
into grill and reinstall cotter pin. Note: When refitting
the burners, be careful to check that they are
positioned correctly. (Refer to Step 8 of Assembly
Instructions for reinstallation)
