It is possible that very small insects could
make webs or nest in the venturi tubes. This
will partially or completely block the flow of
gas through the venturi and is indicated by
a smoky yellow flame, and/or a burner that
is difficult or impossible to light. Ultimately, it
may cause the gas to burn outside the venturis, which can
cause a fire resulting in damage to your grill and potential
personal injury. IF THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY SHUT
OFF THE PROPANE AT CYLINDER, OR NATURAL GAS
AT MAIN SHUT-OFF VALVE. When the grill has cooled,
follow the "Cleaning Venturi tubes" steps
CLEANING OTHER PARTS OF YOUR APPLIANCE
BURNER:
At least twice a year, clean your burner when cleaning the
venturi tubes. The burner can be gently scraped clean with
a brass bristle brush. Ensure that all burner ports (openings)
are clear (DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS). If you find
cracks, abnormal holes, or damage caused by corrosion during
your inspection and cleaning, replace burner with appropriate
part as listed on the part list.
IGNITOR:
Clean the ignitor clip lightly using a wire brush to remove
rust and grease. DO NOT USE WATER OR CLEAN THE
ELECTRODES. Visually inspect the ceramic of the electrode
for cracks. The electrode can be wiped with a soft cloth if
necessary. If a crack is found, a replacement ignitor system will
be required, look for O.E.M. ignition system or universal ignition
system.
CLEANING GRIDS:
After each use, scrub the cooking grids with a stiff long-handled
brass brush. Do not use steel brushes, as they can scratch the
nickel or porcelain coating. Grids can also be washed with mild
detergent. Never use commercial oven cleaners, if rust appears
on your cooking grids, remove the rust with a scrub pad and
coat the grid with some cooking oil. If excessive wear is evident,
you might want to replace or upgrade your cooking grid.
COOKING SYSTEM:
To clean your Heat Distribution Plate scrape it with a brass
bristle brush; clean using soap and water, then rinse and dry.
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESSIVE GREASE OR OTHER RESIDUE
TO BUILD UP ON YOUR COOKING SYSTEM AS A FIRE MAY
RESULT.
SIDE SHELVES:
Metal Shelves: Use any household cleaner, except those
containing acid or mineral spirits. Be sure to rinse well after
cleaning. DO NOT USE AS A CUTTING BOARD.
Plastic Shelves and Panels: Clean with dish washing liquid, then
wipe dry. DO NOT USE AS A CUTTING BOARD.
COVER YOUR GRILL WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO PROTECT
THE SHELVES FROM THE OUTDOOR ELEMENTS.
GRILL EXTERIOR :
The white spots that may appear on the outside of the casting
are caused by the oxidation of the aluminum. This oxidation can
usually be removed with soap and water. If not, you can repaint
the outside casting using hi-heat grill paint.
GRILL INTERIOR, WARMING RACK:
At least once a year remove all components from inside your
grill. Loosen any cooking residue with a scraping tool for large
particles and a brass brush for smaller particles. Scrub with hot
water and a strong detergent, then rinse thoroughly or spray grill
degreaser liberally on all interior surfaces. Be sure to use gloves
and eye protection. Let stand for 10 minutes, scrape off residue
and repeat if required. Rinse thoroughly with water. Replace all
components as outlined in the assembly instructions. DO NOT
USE DEGREASER ON PAINTED OR PLASTIC SURFACES.
GREASE TRAY:
Your grill comes equipped with a tray for containing grease
that drips off your food. This grease tray can be accessed from
the rear of the grill just under the base casting. To remove the
grease tray, simply lift up on the tray and slide it out towards the
rear of the grill. To install the tray, guide the front edge of the
tray into the tray support rails and slide it in until the front lip of
the tray drops down over the front edge of the support rails
ALWAYS BE SURE THE TRAY IS COOL WHEN REMOVING
OR INSTALLING.
IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU CLEAN THE GREASE TRAY
BEFORE OR AFTER EVERY USE.
STORAGE
More people are discovering the pleasure of year round grilling.
However, if you choose to store your grill for the winter or any
extended length of time, follow these steps:
• Clean the cooking grids, then oil lightly with cooking oil, wrap
in paper and then store the cooking grids indoors.
• Follow the same cleaning method above for the burners and
any warming racks.
• Cover the grill if it is left outdoors.
• When the grill is not in use, the gas must be turned off at
the L.P. cylinder valve or main shut off valve, and stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
With a Propane appliance you can store the grill inside,
PROVIDED the cylinder is removed from the grill and
stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach of
children. When the cylinder is disconnected from the grill,
ensure the cylinder valve safety cap is firmly in place.
After a period of storage or non-use, a leak test should be
performed and the burner venturis cleaned prior to use.
