Care & Maintenance
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray and grease cup, located under the burner pan in the bottom
of the Grill body are provided to catch excess cooking fats and juices.
The drip tray is accessible from the rear of the Grill. It is necessary to lift
up the pan slightly while pulling it out. (Fig. 19)
Always confirm that the grill has cooled to a safe temperature before
removing the drip tray and grease cup.
Check it for accumulations in the grease cup after each use of the Grill,
and clean it as necessary.
Use lightly abrasive or nonabrasive products only for cleaning the drip
tray.
STAINLESS STEEL PANELS
Stainless steel is very durable and should last indefinitely with a minimum of care. Stainless steel is rust resistant, not
rust proof. Minor surface rust may occur in the presence of salt (ocean) water or some cleaning agents that contain
chlorine. Due to the nature of its brushed surface, minor scratches may appear with normal use and handling. These
may be removed with the use of a fine to medium grade Scotch-Brite* (or similar) polishing pad. Apply gentle, even
pressure while rubbing with the grain of the steel. Do not rub against the grain, as damage to the finish can result.
Never use steel wool on the stainless steel.
Never rub against the grain as damage to the finish can result and never use steel wool on the stainless steel panels.
Periodic cleaning with a nonabrasive cleaning compound, specifically formulated for stainless steel, will ordinarily
remove any dirt, grease, cooking residue or discoloration that may develop.
Whenever possible, avoid the use of abrasive cleaning agents, scouring pads, or other abrasive materials to clean the
stainless steel panels, to avoid scratching the surfaces. If abrasive materials must be used as a result of heavy accumulated
smoke or grease build-up, always rub with the grain of the stainless steel, (never against the grain).
PORCELAIN ENAMEL CASTINGS
Periodic cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth or soft brush will keep porcelain enamel surfaces looking new. Use
a kitchen appliance cleaner or a polish expressly formulated for use on porcelain enamel to clean the porcelain enamel
castings. Treat it as you would a porcelain sink. Dishwasher safe.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive materials to clean the porcelain enamel castings, as they will permanently
scratch the porcelain enamel surfaces.
