304 Stainless steel
The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of
the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are
many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first,
scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand
very lightly with wet 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather
on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust.
For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
Always rub in the direction of the grain.
Note: stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides and sulfides especially in coastal areas.
To ensure corrosion prevention, wash all stainless steel surfaces every three to four weeks with fresh
water and stainless cleaner. Keep grill covered when not in use.
Removing the U-burners for cleaning
Grill burner cleaning
Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire
brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any
clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a
wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
Shake out any debris through the air shutter. Use a flashlight
to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If
obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that
has been straightened (see Fig. 35).
Orifice cleaning
With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a
flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage.
Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to
enlarge the hole or break off the needle.
1 Ensure gas supply has been turned off. Remove
the grill grates, then lift out the grill radiant
tray. Use a screw driver to pry open the slot to
release the u-burner.
1 Grip the u-burner and press downwards with
your thumbs on the bracket in the back while
lifting up on the u-burner. Pull it up and
slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner
air shutter head comes off the brass orifice
at the front, angle the burner sideways, and
remove.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT!
When re-installing the u-burner after cleaning, ensure that it is completely level and locked in place.
This is needed to ensure your grill provides an even cooking performance.
