NOTE:
Always wait until your appliance is completely cool before cleaning. Do not clean this product
with a water spray or the like.
You should clean your appliance after each use to maintain the overall appearance over the life of your
appliance. After the first use, it is normal for your appliance to become discolored in certain areas from
the heat produced by the heating element.
Exterior Cleaning
When cleaning your appliance, always scrub and polish in the direction of the stainless steel grain. Wipe
down the exterior of the appliance to remove any splatter or grease. Use a stainless steel cleaner to
clean the exterior surface for a polished look. Do not use harsh abrasives. To remove baked-on foods,
use a fine-to-medium-grit non-metallic abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner to avoid specks of
grease collecting in the grain and causing the appearance of rust. Before installing the cover, always
allow the surface to dry. DO NOT cover a damp appliance.
Drip Tray
Clean the drip tray after each use. Failure to do so could result in a fire. Once the appliance has cooled
completely, remove the tray by pulling it all the way out until it comes free. Clean the tray with hot soapy
water and replace, ensuring the tray is completely installed in the grill housing. If using an oven-cleaning
agent, be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid damage to the stainless steel.
Flame Tamers & Grilling/Warming Racks
To clean (after each use), turn the heating element on HIGH for 10-15 minutes with the hood closed. This
allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away. Brush components with a grill cleaning
brush to remove any remaining charred materials.
Protecting Your Appliance from the Weather
An optional, heavy-duty cover will protect your appliance's finish and protect your investment. The
water-repellent cover will shield your appliance from the weather. Always cover your appliance when
not in use. (Allow to cool before covering.)
