1) Remove Drip Cup, Cooking Grid, and Flame Diffuser.
2) Drip
Cup-
Wash the Drip Cup with soap and water.

Grill Body and Cart
-Do not mistake the accumulation
of grease and smoke residue for peeling or flaking paint.
Remove excess grease and/or fat with a soft plastic or
wooden scraper. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive
cleaners that can scratch painted or porcelain coated
surfaces. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from
the body. Wipe it down with paper towels or soft damp
cloth.
4)
Warming Rack-
Clean if necessary with soap and water.
5)
Cooking Grid/Flame Diffuser.
Clean the residue off
with hot soap and water, or baking soda. For stubborn
stains, use a non-abrasive scouring powder. Do not use
steel wool or other abrasive cleaners that can scratch the
porcelain coated surfaces. This can cause foods to stick on
the Cooking Grids.
6)
All other Cleaning-
For further cleaning, use hot soapy
water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not
immerse the gas
controls or manifold in water. (Avoid
getting water in the Burner Holes.)
7)
Burner-
Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the
burner clean with normal usage, provided the Burner
is operating correctly. Clean the the Burner annually,
or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there
are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the
burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the
burner.
(See Burner Cleaning instructions.)
8) After cleaning, replace all the cleaned parts. Re-tighten
Burner and Heat Shield screws.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE GRILL
To reduce the risk of a cut injury:
· Be careful or wear protective gloves when cleaning grill
parts that have sharp edges.
To reduce the risk of a fire beneath the grill:
· Inspect and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and
insect nests.
· Be sure burners are re-installed properly before using
grill.
· Inspect burners periodically, if large cracks or holes are
found, replace the Burner.
Spiders or small insects can build nests, webs and lay eggs
in the grills venturi tubes obstructing the flow of gas to the
burner. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control
panel causing damage to the grill and even injury to the
operator. This is known as a “flashback”.
In order to prevent flashbacks, the burner(s) should be
removed from the grill and cleaned periodically, especially if
the grill has been stored for an extended period of time.
