Cleaning the Grill
Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a
hot grill.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking
grid. Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not
scrape grids.
Grids and Drip Pan
The grids are made of high quality stainless steel and should
be brushed with a brass brush while the grill is still warm.
The drip pan is made of high quality stainless steel as well
and can be cleaned with a scraping tool. The pan must be
kept clean of heavy build-up for the grill to perform properly
and to reduce are-ups. Clean as needed or approximately
every 10 uses.
Burn Off
This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens
and is most efcient when completed after each use of the
grill.
Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn off
process. Opening the grill during the burn off process
may cause a sudden grease re are up that could burn
your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before
opening.
1. Turn gas knob to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to burn
for ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do not
allow the grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.
2. Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill to
cool.
Grill Bottom
Once or twice a year remove cooking grids and drip pan to
clean the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue
with a putty knife or brass brush and rinse with water.
Burner Maintenance
Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use.
This does not effect the performance of the grill. When
cleaning the interior of the grill, remove the burners and clean
with a brass brush. Wash with water and a mild detergent.
Drip Pipe and Valve
Drain pipe and valve must be kept clear of grease and food
particles to allow the grease to drain properly. To clear the
drain pipe and valve, run a exible drain brush through both
and remove.
Bucket
The bucket can be stored under the grill lid when the grill is
not in use.
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, thus
ensuring an efcient ame. Spiders or other small insects
may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air ow.
Fire, or ashback, can occur, in and/or around obstructed
venturi tubes and can cause damage to components beneath
the grill or an unsafe condition. To reduce risk, inspect and
clean the Venturi Tubes at least twice monthly when spiders
are active. If the grill has been unused for an extended period
of time inspect the tubes before using the grill.
Clean venturi tubes as follows:
1. Remove the cooking grids and drip pan.
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Lay the burner face down and remove the four retaining
screws from the venturi tube plate and the burner. See
Figure 26.
4. Use a small exible brush to remove any debris for the
tube(s).
5. Flush with water.
6. Allow the tube(s) to dry before reinstalling.
7. Reinstall the venturi tubes, igniter and burner bracket to
burner.
Exterior
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot
water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broil-
master protective covers are recommended. Stainless steel
components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless
steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.
