CLEANING
COOKING AREA CLEANING
The easiest way to clean the grill is to clean it immediately after turning off the flame when
cooking is completed. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam.
Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush
frequently in the water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning
process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall and burn. Never immerse
a hot part in water.
GRILL BURNER CLEANING
• Be sure the tank valve and the knobs are in the OFF position. Make sure the grill is cool.
• Clean the exterior of the burner with a wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal
scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden
toothpick since it may break off and clog the port.
• Please note that if insects or other obstructions are blocking the flow of gas through the
burner, you will need to call Consumer Affairs.
VERY IMPORTANT: The orifice of the valve must be located in the center of the burner
section after removal and cleaning. Otherwise, it may cause serious bodily injury and
property damage. Swing the burner slightly after replacing to check whether it has been
installed properly.
GREASE TRAY CLEANING
The grease tray should be emptied, wiped down periodically, and washed in a mild detergent
and warm water solution. A small amount of sand may be placed in the bottom of the grease
tray to absorb the grease.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners after storing. These nests can cause fires inside the
tube or beneath the grill. This is a very dangerous condition. Always clean the burners before
use.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
Inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
1. Yellow flame with burning smell.
2. Temperature will not rise.
3. Heats unevenly.
4. Burners make popping noises.
