CLEANING
AND CARE
Cleaning
Burning-off the barbecue after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will prevent food
residue from building up on your grates.
Recommended cleaning materials:
•
Mild liquid dishwashing detergent
•
Nylon cleaning pad
•
Putty knife/scraper
•
Hot water
•
Wire brush
Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.
Outside Surfaces: The porcelain-enamel finish on your barbecue lid has a glass-
like composition that should be handled with care to prevent chipping. Use mild
liquid dishwashing detergent, or baking soda and hot water solution. For stubborn
stains, try using a non-abrasive scouring powder, then rinse off with water.
If the inside surface of the grid has the appearance of peeling paint, it is baked on
grease buildup that has turned to carbon and is flaking off. The lid is porcelain-
enameled, so it is
not peeling paint. Clean with a strong soap detergent and hot
water solution. Rinse with water and allow to completely dry.
Never use oven
cleaner here, or anywhere on your barbecue.
Interior of Barbecue Body:
Remove residue and buildup by using brush, scraper
and/or cleaning pad, then wash with dishwashing detergent and hot water solution.
Rinse with water and let dry completely.
Plastic Surfaces: Wash with a soft cloth and dishwashing detergent and hot water
solution. Rinse with water.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, degreasers, or concentrated
barbecue cleaners on plastic parts.
Cooking Grates: Use mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution. Non-
abrasive scouring powders can be used on stubborn stains, then rinsed with water.
Never use oven cleaner.
Heat Plate:
Clean residue with wire brush and wash with soapy water. Rinse
with water.
Cleaning the heating element assembly:
•
Make sure barbecue is unplugged from power outlet.
•
Unplug electric controller from heating element.
•
Remove cooking grate.
•
Remove heating element by unscrewing the screws and nuts
securing the heating element at the connection. Keep the
screws and nuts in clear sight so you
do not lose them.
•
Lift heating element up and away from side of barbecue.
Clean heating element with a soft, mild brush or cloth. Be careful not to damage
the heating element surface.
Do not submerse heating element or electric con-
troller in water.
Reinstall heating element and plug electric controller back to heating element. Inspect
electric controller and power cord for any damage. If damaged, call our customer serv-
ice for a replacement controller. This controller is made specifically for this barbecue.
