PERIODIC CLEANING
To remove ashes from the bowl, move control rod (1) side to side so damper blades
sweep ashes through the bowl vents and into the ash catcher.
ƽ CAUTION: Be sure the burner is OFF and the barbecue is
cool before cleaning.
Do not enlarge burner slots when cleaning.
To clean burner:
• Brush the outside of the burner tube (2) and the burner slot (3) section with a wire
brush.
ƽ CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner slots or the gas orifice
when cleaning.
To clean kettle:
• While lid is warm, wipe the inside with a paper towel to prevent grease build-up.
• For outer surfaces use a warm soap-and-water solution and rinse well with clear
water.
For a more thorough cleaning (to be done at least once a year) :
A) Remove ashes after coals are fully extinguished.
B) Remove the grates and Char-Baskets™.
C) Wipe out with paper towels. Wash with a mild detergent and water. Rinse well with
clear water and wipe dry.
STORAGE
• When the Performer Grill is stored indoors, the gas supply must be disconnected
and the LP tank stored outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
• LP tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of
children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• After a period of storage and/or non-use, the barbecue should be checked for gas
leaks and any obstructions in the burner tube before using (see “Maintenance”
section).
• Check that the areas around the tank, hose and burner assembly are free from
debris that might obstruct the flow of gas or air before use.
