Care and Maintenance
Cooking Grates
The best time to "burn-off" the cooking grates is after every use (approx. 15 minutes). The grill is already
hot from cooking, thus requiring less fuel to reach the necessary temperature for "burn-off."
To "burn off" or heat-clean your grill, turn the burners to highest position and run for 15 minutes with the
lid closed. Then turn off the burners and use a wire brush to clean excess food residue from the grates.
Ensure the grill and griddle are cool and gas supply is turned off at the natural gas shut-off valve
before cleaning and conducting maintenance.
Recommended Cleaning Supplies
Mild liquid dish soap, warm water, nylon cleaning pad, wire brush
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or any abrasive substance.
Outside Surfaces
It is recommended to use only mild dish soap and hot water to clean griddle, grill and grill parts.
Rinse with warm water.
Griddle Surface
After each use, scrape the griddle surface with a spatula and wipe down the griddle with a paper towel.
Table salt can also be used to help scrub food residue off. Using dish soap will reverse the benefits of
seasoning the grill.
Inside Bottom Pan of Grill Body
To avoid flare-ups, clean the bottom pan of the cooking box regularly.
To clean, remove residue using a brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with mild dish soap and
warm water. Rinse with warm water. Avoid water splashing into venturi tubes of burners.
Heat Tents
Clean residue with wire brush and wash with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse with warm water.
Grease Cups
Empty the grease cups and clean with mild dish soap and warm water on a regular basis.
Checking The Flame
For maximum fuel efficiency and cooking
performance, flame should be a blue-yellow color
and be between 1- 2 inches high.
To check the flame, view the flame through the
holes in both sides of the firebox.
