General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the grill is cool. Always follow label
instructions on cleaning products.
For routine cleaning, wash with soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water
and dry at once with a soft, lint-free cloth to avoid spots and streaks.
To avoid scratching the surface, do not use steel wool to clean the grill.
Use vinyl grill cover, available from your local dealer, to protect finish from weather.
STAINLESS STEEL
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the stainless steel surface, do not use soap-filled scouring pads,
abrasive cleaners, cooktop polishing creme, steel wool, gritty wash cloths, paper towels or cleaners
that contain chlorine.
Food spills should be cleaned as soon as entire grill is cool. Spills may cause permanent
discoloration.
Cleaning Method:
■ Rub in direction of grain to avoid scratching or damaging the surface.
■ Stainless Steel Cleaner.
■ Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:
■ Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
■ Vinegar to remove hard water spots.
■ Glass cleaner to remove fingerprints.
PORCELAIN-COATED PARTS
To avoid chipping, do not bang porcelain covered parts with solid objects or drop them.
Cleaning Method:
■ Non-abrasive plastic scrubbing pad and mildly abrasive cleanser:
GRILL GRATES
IMPORTANT: Do not use a steel or fiber scraper on grill grates. Immediately after you are finished
cooking, loosen food soil with a brass bristle brush. Turn all burners to HI for 10-15 minutes with the
hood closed to burn off food soil. Turn off all burners, raise the hood and let grates cool. Use the
brass bristle brush to remove ash from the grill grates.
When completely cool, grill racks can be removed for thorough cleaning. Clean them with a mild
detergent and warm water. For baked-on soil, prepare a solution of 1 cup (250 mL) ammonia to 1
gal. (3.75 L) water. Soak grates for 20 minutes, then rinse with water and dry completely.
