We suggest you wash your cooking grids in a miid
soap and warm water soiution. You can use a wash
cioth or soft brush to ciean your cooking grids.

be placed in bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease.
Check the grease tray frequently, don’t allow excess
grease to accumulate and overflow out of the grease
tray.
Annual Cleaning of Grill Interior
Burning-off the grill after every use will keep it ready for
your next use. However, once a year you should give
the entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top
operating condition. Follow these steps.
1. Turn all burner valves to full OFF position.
2. Turn LP gas tank valve to full OFF position.
3. Detach LP gas hose and pressure regulator
assembly from your gas grill. Inspect for any damage
and replace as necessary with manufacturer
replacement part number found on parts list.
4. Remove and clean heat diffusers, cooking grids and
grill burners.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush inside and bottom of grill with a nylon brush,
and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution.

Cleaning Exterior Surface
We suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or
sponge for this process. Do not use abrasives or a
brush that might remove finish during the cleaning
process.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces
Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior
stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine oils
used in manufacturing process of stainless steel can also
cause this tanning color. Use a stainless steel cleaner to
polish stainless steel surfaces of your grill. Never use
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch
and damage your grill.
