bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease.

Check the grease tray frequently, don’t allow

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.

your gas grill. Inspect for any damage and replace as

necessary with manufacturer replacement part number

found on parts list.

grill burners.

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.

Cleaning Burner Tubes and Burner Ports

To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK” the procedure

below should be followed at least once a month in late

summer or early fall when spiders are most active or

when your grill has not been used for a period of time.

position.

grill.

3. Remove cooking grids, heat diffusers, and grease

tray from the grill.

4. Remove the screws from the underside of each

burner and lift the burners up and away from the gas

valve orifice.

5. Using a bent stiff wire in the shape of a hook , air

hose or a bottle brush, run it through the burner tube

and inside several times to remove any debris.

6. Replace burners, see illustration below.

Step 1. Locate the burner onto the orifice.

Step 2. Secure the main burner on the back wall of fire

box with 2 screws.

WARNING

The location of the burner tube with respect to the

orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the

orifice is inside the burner tube before using the gas

grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve

orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion

and/or fire.
