Care and Maintenance
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.
NOTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.
Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain
water can collect inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip
tray is not cleaned after use and the grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water
causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We recommend cleaning and storing the
drip tray after every use.
COOKING GRATES
The cooking grate can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the
grill. Wear a barbecue mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed
to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild
detergent.
STAINLESS STEEL
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this
is normal.
Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of
grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn
appearance. For removal, use a non-abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
IGNITER ACCESS (UNDER SIDE BURNER SHELF)
To remove igniter, unscrew igniter push button and locking nut from front panel of the side burner
and igniter will fall out through the bottom.
PORCELAIN PARTS
Certain parts of your grill have a porcelain coating. Porcelain is a glass-based product, and is highly
durable to standard wear and tear. However, porcelain is sensitive to concussive blows, which can
create interlaced micro-fractures, or “spider-webs.” Please take care not to strike any porcelain
covered parts with solid objects, drop them, or create any other concussive blows. These interlaced
micro-fractures are common and may lead to minor chipping. Neither the chipping nor the interlaced
micro-fractures will adversely affect the performance of your grill, and are not covered under the
warranty for porcelain parts.
INFRARED BURNER CLEANING
After each use, it is necessary to burn the bottom infrared burner with the hood open for at least
five minutes to vaporize any food drippings or particles. Failure to perform this step will damage
the burner. It may occasionally be necessary to brush, blow, or vacuum accumulated ash from the
burner surface. Do so carefully and only when the burner is cool.
