Cleaning the Grill

Caution: To prevent injury, use care when

cleaning a hot grill.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the

cooking grid. Do not brush grids while they are

hot. Do not scrape grids.

For baked on residue use a brass (NOT STEEL) brush on

the cooking grid and other components.

Burn Off

This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens

and is most efficient when completed after each use of

the grill.

Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn

off process. Opening the grill during the burn

off process may cause a sudden grease fire flare

up that could burn your face and arms. Wait

until the grill has cooled before opening.

1. Turn gas knob to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to

burn for ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do

not allow the grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.

2. Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill

to cool.

3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.

Grill Bottom

Periodically remove cooking grids and flare guard to clean

the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with

a putty knife or brass brush and rinse with water. Clean

the bottom air holes with a small knife.

Burner Maintenance

Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use.

This does not effect the performance of the grill. When

cleaning the interior of the grill, remove the burners and

clean with a brass brush. Wash with water and a mild

detergent.

Grease Tray

Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be

purchased at most supermarkets where disposable

aluminum baking pans are displayed.

Venturi Tubes

The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to

burning, thus ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or other

small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes

obstructing air flow. Fire, or flashback, can occur, in and/or

around obstructed venturi tubes and can cause damage to

components beneath the grill or an unsafe condition. To

reduce risk, inspections and cleaning should be performed

at least twice monthly when spiders are active. If the grill

has been unused for an extended period of time inspect the

tubes before using the grill.
Clean venturi tubes as follows:

1. Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack.
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Lay the burner face down and remove the four

retaining screws from the venturi tube plate and the

burner. Figure 17.

4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for

the tube(s).

5. Flush with water.
6. A l l o w t h e

t u b e ( s ) t o

dry before

reinstalling.

7. Reinstall the

venturi tubes

and burner.

Exterior

Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and

hot water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer.

protective covers are recommended. Stain-

less steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on

stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.

Briquettes

I

f the briquettes did not come clean during burn off, after

cooling turn them over. The residue will burn off during

warm-up for the next use.
