WARNING!

 Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when servicing your grill.

WARNING!

 To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is 

cool. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Ensure all burners are turned off. Clean grill in an 

area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns, or patios. Do not use oven cleaner to clean 

any part of this gas grill. Do not use a self-cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the 

gas grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill 

components unless cleaned regularly.

Cleaning Instructions

Note

: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and sulfides, particularly in 

coastal areas and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools 

and hot tubs. These stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide 

stain prevention and removal, wash all stainless steel and chrome surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as often as 

required with fresh water and/or stainless steel cleaner. 

Control Panel

: The control panel text is printed directly on the stainless steel and with proper maintenance 

will remain dark and legible. To clean the panel, use only warm soapy water. Never apply abrasive cleaners 

on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed portion of the control panel or the printing will gradually 

rub off. 

Cleaning Inside The Gas Grill

: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from 

the casting sides and underneath the lid.  Scrape the sear plates with a putty knife or scraper, and use a 

wire brush to remove the ash. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with the brass 

wire brush. Sweep all debris from inside the gas grill into the drip pan. 

Infrared Burners

: Because of the high intensity of the infrared burner, most drippings and food particles 

that fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated.  However, some debris and residue may 

remain.  To remove this residue after cooking, operate the grill on high for 5-10 minutes. Do not clean the 

ceramic tile with a wire brush. 

Grids And Warming Rack

: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during 

the pre-heating period. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. It is normal that stainless grids (if 

equipped) will discolor permanently from regular usage due to the high temperature of the cooking 

surface.

Cast Iron Cooking Grids

: The cast iron cooking grids supplied with your new grill offer superior heat 

retention and distribution.  By regularly seasoning your grids you are adding a protective coating, which 

will aid in resisting corrosion and increase your grids non-stick capabilities.

First Time Use

:  Wash the cooking grids by hand with mild dish soap and water to remove any residue 

from the manufacturing process (never wash in a dish washer).  Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry 

completely with a soft cloth.  This is important to avoid moisture from entering the cast iron.

Seasoning

: Using a soft cloth, spread VEGETABLE SHORTENING over the entire grid surface ensuring 

all grooves and corners are covered.  Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine.  Pre-heat your 

grill for 15 minutes, then place the seasoned cooking grids in the grill.  Turn the burner control knobs to 

medium with the lid closed.  Allow the cooking grids to heat for approximately one-half hour.  Turn all the 

burners to the “OFF” position and turn the gas off at the source.  Let the cooking grids stand until cool.  

This procedure should be repeated several times throughout the season, although it is not required for 

daily use (follow daily usage procedure below). 

Daily Usage

:  Before pre-heating, and cleaning with a brass wire grill brush, coat the entire top surface of 

the cooking grids with VEGETABLE SHORTENING.  Pre-heat the grill and then brush away any unwanted 

residue with a brass wire brush.

Stainless Steel Cooking Grids

: (upgrade kit available - see replacement parts list).  Stainless steel cooking 

grids are durable and corrosion resistant.  They require less seasoning and maintenance than cast iron 

cooking grids.  It is recommended that you follow the daily usage procedure listed above although you 

may find pre-heating and cleaning your grids with a wire brush is sufficient for your grilling needs.
