General Grill Cleaning 

• 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 solution 

of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush 
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely 
air dry. 

Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted 

surfaces.

• 

Plastic parts: 

Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

s

Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a 

concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and 
failure of parts can result. 

• Porcelain surfaces: 

Because of glass-like composition, most 

residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or 
specially formulated cleaner.

Use nonabrasive scouring powder 

for stubborn stains.

• Painted surfaces: 

Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive 

cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft 
nonabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: 

To maintain your grill’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 abrasive plastic cleaning 
pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. 
Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

• Cooking surfaces:

 If a bristle brush is used to clean any of

the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
