3) Turn off the gas at the LP cylinder valve by turning the   

handle clockwise until it stops.

4) Wait until the grill is cool before closing the hood, cleaning 

or putting on the cover.

5) Regularly clean your LP gas grill between uses and after 

extended storage periods. To maintain the condition and 
extend the life of your grill, we strongly recommend that 
the unit be covered when stored outside for any length of 
time, especially during the winter months.

END OF COOKING SESSION

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, fire or death:
· Allow grill and grease in the Drip Cup to completely 

cool before emptying, handling parts, cleaning, moving 
or storage.

· Empty the Drip Cup after each cooking session so 

excessive grease does not accumulate.

· Never light the LP gas grill without the Drip Cup in 

place.

1) Remove Drip Cup, Cooking Grid, and Flame Diffuser.
2) Drip 

Cup-

Wash the Drip Cup with soap and water. 

3) 

Grill Body and Cart

-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) 

Burners-

Burning off the residue after cooking will keep the 

burners clean with normal usage, provided the Burners 
are operating correctly. Clean the the Burners 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 
burners. 

(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.

· Do not use the grill without the Drip Cup in place.  

Empty excess grease to avoid a fire under the grill.

· If you notice grease or other hot material dripping 

from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn 
off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has 
cooled, determine the cause and correct it.  After 
cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly, 
perform a leak test before continuing use. (See 
Performing a Leak Test.)

· Do not attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water 

or other liquids. Have an BC fire extinguisher
accessible. Do not douse or spray the grill or cooking 
surfaces with water when hot. Burns from grease or 
the water splatters could occur.

· If your gas grill catches on fire:

- If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely 

reach the control knobs on the control panel, then 
turn them to the off position.

- If the fire is in one of the hoses, and you can safely 

reach the LP cylinder valve, then shut the valve off.

- If the fire involves the cylinder, leave it alone,  

evacuate the area and call the fire department. 

- If there is any type of fire that threatens either 

personal safety or endangers property, call the fire 
department.

· Do not wear loose clothing (example:  hanging shirt 

tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a gas grill while in 
use or hot.  

· Do not lean your body over the gas grill when lighting 

it or while it is in use or hot.

· Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves, 

long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times 
since the grill will become very hot. Open the hood 
carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air 
and steam trapped inside.

· Do not allow children to operate or play near a gas 

grill. Keep animals and bystanders out of the grill area. 
Do not leave grill unattended.

· Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.
· When grill is not in use, turn off all grill control knobs, 

LP cylinder valve and disconnect the LP cylinder.

1) After each cooking session, close the hood and turn the  

grill burners to the “High” position and burn for five
minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking residue, 
thus making cleaning easier. (Side Burner not affected)

2) When you have finished using your grill, turn the grill

Control Knobs clockwise to the “Off” position.
