General Grill Cleaning
, Keep the outside of your grill looking new by cleaning it once a
month with warm soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner. If
you don't have a grill cover, wipe off dust and grime before
starting your grill.
, Coating the cooking grids with spray-on cooking oil will keep the
food from sticking and make clean up easier.After cooking,
scrape the grates with a long handled, brass wire bristle brush.
, Check inside the grill bottom for grease build up and clean
often, especially after cooking fatty meat.
, Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Apply a strong solution of detergent and water
or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and
bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a
caustic grillloven cleaner to painted surfaces.
Plated wire grates: Wash grates with concentrated grill
cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and
store indoors between cookouts.
, Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
A Do not usecitrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can bewiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water.Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill's high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease
deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning
pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.
Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is usedto clean any of
the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It isnot recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
