of the electric grill. Do not attempt to remove.
To clean;
1. Clean cooking surface with a damp, soft cloth or sponge

2. Follow with a clean damp cloth to remove any remaining
detergent residue.
3. The Brush accessory (included with the TBQ-120-DLX
model), a soft wire brush or scraper may be used to
remove excess deposits. The ridges cut into the scraper
side of the Brush accessory are designed to fit between
the rungs of the cooking grid.
To clean under the cooking grid, remove the Drip Tray
following steps as outlined above. The Brush accessory
has the necessary profile to fit between the bottom of the
grill assembly and the sheet metal of the Outlet accessory
if installed. Any soft wire brush or scraper can be used to
clean the underside of the cooking grid.
