Why Clean?
We've all heard the saying ' A n ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' . This is great
advice when it comes to keeping your grill clean.

Routine Care

Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary, as grill fires can occur when grease and food
debris collect in the bottom of the grill. After each use, remove any remaining food particles
from the cooking grate and inside of the grill using a grill brush. Do this after the grill has
cooled down. This grill is not designed to be 'burned off' by closing the lid and turning the
burners on High for an extended time. The excessive heat generated can cause leftover
grease to catch fire, and can cause permanent damage to your grill.

General Cleaning

Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts
can result.
Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with
baking soda/water solution or glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn
stains.
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Wipe
dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust
under certain conditions. This can be caused by
environmental conditions such as chlorine or salt
water, or improper cleaning tools such as wire
or steel wool. It can also discolor due to heat,
chemicals, or grease build-up. To maintain your
grill' s high quality appearance, wash with mild
detergent and warm water, or use a stainless
steel grill cleaner. 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: Ensure no loose bristles
remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It
is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces
while grill is hot.
