CARE AND MAINTENANCE
STAINLESS STEEL:
The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel.
After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat
given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many different stain-
less steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure
first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable
scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with wet 100 grit emery
paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the
surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the
appearance of rust. For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is
good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the
direction of the grain.
Note:
Stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides and sulfides espe-
cially in coastal areas. To ensure corrosion prevention, wash all stainless
steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks with fresh water and stainless cleaner. Keep
grill covered when not in use.
ELECTRODES:
Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage
the electrode (see Fig. 45).
TO REMOVE THE U-BURNERS FOR CLEANING
Ensure gas supply has been turned off. Remove the grill grates, then lift
out the grill radiant tray. Grip the U-burner as shown in the photo (Fig.
46) and press downwards with your thumbs on the bracket in the back
while lifting up on the U-Burner. In some cases it may be necessary to
use a screw driver to pry open the slot to release the U-burner. Pull it up
and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner air shutter head comes
off the brass orifice at the front, angle the burner sideways, and remove.
After cleaning, when re-installing the U-Burner ensure the U-Burner is
completely level and locked in place. This is needed to ensure your grill
provides even cooking performance.
GRILL BURNER CLEANING:
Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire brush. Clear
stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a
straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break
off and clog the port. Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If
obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been
straightened (See Fig. 47).
ORIFICE CLEANING:
With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight
through the opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a needle to
clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break
off the needle.
Note:
When replacing grill and/or smoker burners, or orifices following cleaning,
confirm orifice penetration into burner as shown in Fig. 48
