product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

When cleaning the inside of the firebox hood and grill bottom,
use a strong solution of detergent and water with a scrub
brush to clean. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. NEVER
use a caustic grill cleaner on painted or cooking surfaces.
All plastic parts, stainless-steel and painted surfaces, should
be cleaned with warm soapy water and wiped dry. Cook-
ing surfaces should be cleaned with a bristle brush only.
Check that no loose bristles remain on the cooking grates
prior to using.
Cooking grates:
 Clean before and after each use with a stiff wire brush.
Port shields:
 Scrape any build-up off the port shields using a wire
brush.
Grease:
 After use, allow the grease in the cup to cool then empty
into the garbage.
 Empty after each use to avoid spillage and flare ups.

ING VENTURI FOR INSECTS

DANGER:
Failure to clean the burner assembly and check the
venturi as described can result in a fire or explosion

some time. In some parts of the country, spiders and other
insects can spin webs, build nests, and lay eggs in the ven-
turi blocking gas flow and causing fire in the tubes known
as "flashback". Flashback can damage the grill and even
cause injury.

pletely.
