Cleaning and care

Before cleaning the appliance make sure it has cooled down completely.
Ashes
Once the charcoal is burned out, fully extinguished and cool,
clean the barbecue with an oven brush. Make sure the follow-
ing precautions are observed.
∙ Do not remove ashes until all charcoal is completely burned
out and fully extinguished and grill is cool.
∙ Never dump hot coals where they might be stepped on or
be a fire hazard. Never dump ashes or coals before they
are fully extinguished. Do not store barbecue until ashes
and coals are fully extinguished.
∙ Do not attempt to remove ash tray while it contains hot
coals or during grilling.
Appliance & Accessories
∙
Clean appliance often, preferably after each cookout.
∙
Appliance should be cleaned at least once a year.
∙
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solu-
tion of detergent and water or use an appliance cleaner with
scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom. Rinse
and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply caustic appli-
ance/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
∙
Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
the appliance cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles
remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recom-
mended to clean cooking surfaces while appliance is hot.

WARNING
Corrosion
∙
If rust appears on the surfaces of the appliance, clean and
buff the affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery
cloth. Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature re-
sistant paint.
∙
Never apply paint to the surfaces of the fire bowl. Rust
spots on the fire bowl can be buffed, cleaned and lightly
coated with vegetable oil to minimize further rusting.
∙
Plastic surfaces: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe
dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated appliance cleaner on plastic parts, as this can
result in damage and/or failure of the parts.
∙
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nona-
brasive cloth.
∙
Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your appliance's high
quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm
soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use.
Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abra-
sive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed
finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas
with graphics.
