Heat distribution plates should be cleaned whenever food or grease
drippings accumulate to reduce the chance of flare-ups. Wash heat distribution plates with a mild detergent
and rinse with hot water. Use a degreaser and fiber or brass cleaning brush to remove stubborn food residue.
Do not use a wire brush or metal scraper on porcelain-finished heat distribution plates, as they can scratch or
chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting.

The grease tray and/or grease cup (some models) should be
inspected before each grill use to reduce the chance of fire. Remove grease (a plastic spatula works well) and
wash all parts with a mild soap or degreaser and warm water solution.

Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not
affect the short-term performance of your grill. However, weathering and extreme heat can cause a stainless
steel lid to turn a bronze color. This is discoloration, not rust, and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

Smoke, weathering and high heat can cause a stainless steel grill lid to turn bronze in color. This is
not to be confused with rust and is not a product defect. Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of
stainless steel as well as cooking oils and a dirty grill lid can also encourage discoloration if the lid is not
cleaned prior to grill use. After your grill is assembled, remove the protective PVC film from your grill lid and
use a stainless steel cleaner and soft cloth to remove residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside of
your grill lid. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial cleaning, routine cleaning to
remove dirt, grease and oils will help discourage lid discoloration.

Most gas grills are manufactured to exact specifications and are certified for either propane gas or
natural gas use only. However, some models can be converted safely with conversion kits available for specific
models. Contact Brinkmann Customer Service at 800-527-0717 to see if your grill can be converted.

U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and LP gas tanks. When regulations were changed, the
LP gas tank fittings were updated to ensure compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the hose / regulator
supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002, all LP gas
tanks sold must include an "OPD" overflow protection device. This internal device prevents the LP gas tank
from being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve cannot be refilled.

The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is normal and will not
interfere with the operation of your grill. If the humming noise is loud and excessive, you need to purge air from
the gas line or reset the regulator flow limiting device following the Regulator Resetting Procedure under
Connecting LP Cylinder and Hose/Regulator to Grill. This procedure should be done every time a new LP gas
tank is connected to your grill. For help, refer to your owner’s manual or call Brinkmann Customer Service at
800-527-0717.
