If something has spilled into the trays it should be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil.
Grease from the griddle or the outdoor appliance drains through the drain tube (Fig. 64) into the tray and liner
below. Do not allow the grease to accumulate in the tray as it can be a fire hazard. Clean the tube and tray as
soon as they are cool. Clean with hot soapy water. For the tube use a soapy bottle brush. Ensure the drip tray
is in place when cleaning the drain tube. A mild abrasive cleaner such as Fantastik®, Simple Green® or Formula
409® can be used. (Do not use steel wool pad, or a harsh abrasive such as: Comet® or Ajax®.) Rinse and dry all
parts thoroughly.
CERAMIC RODS:
It is not necessary to remove the ceramic rods for cleaning. They burn themselves clean during the next cooking
operation. Periodically the trays holding the ceramic rods need to be turned over, and shaken free of debris for a
thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and type of food cooked will determine when it
is necessary to clean the trays. If grease can be seen on the top of the tubes or if you get a lot of flare-up during
cooking, the tubes need to be turned over and heated on “SEAR” for 30 minutes; longer for heavy soil.
STAINLESS STEEL:
The outdoor appliance is made from non-rusting stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the outdoor appli-
ance may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many different stain-
less 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 (such as Scotch Brite) 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 pre-
vention, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks with fresh water and stainless cleaner. Keep outdoor appliance
covered when not in use.
GRILL BURNER:
Ensure gas supply has been turned off. Remove the grill
grates, then lift out the radiant tray. Grasp the burner, pull
it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner head
comes off the brass orifice at the front, angle the burner
sideways, and remove.
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 flash-
light 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 (Fig. 65).
