MAINTENANCE TIPS 

PRE-HEATING THE GRILL

Pre-heating your grill every time you use it is 

extremely important. Pre-heating allows the 

briquettes to properly heat up, providing more 

even and more consistent cooking results. Pre-

heat your grill by igniting all main burners. Then 

close the hood and allow the grill to heat for 10 

to 15 minutes, the hood thermometer should 

reach approximately 450°. Once you’ve reached 

your desired pre-heat temperature, turn off the 

burners that you won’t be using to cook your food. 

Remember, surface temperature can be up to 

200° higher.

 SHUT OFF INSTRUCTIONS

1. 

To shut off the unit, depress each valve

control knob and while pressing turn

clockwise to the “OFF” position. 

2. 

Always close the valve from the gas supply

after each use of the unit.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY

NOTE:

 When using a portable propane tank:  

Propane tanks are equipped with a safety 

shutdown device that may cause low or no gas 

pressure/flame at the burners if operating and 

lighting instructions are not followed exactly. 

The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. 

After the grill is completely cool, remove the drip 

tray by pulling it out until it stops, then lifting the 

front edge until the drip tray comes free. Clean 

it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning 

product and re-install. When using an oven-

style cleaning product be sure to carefully follow 

the manufacturer’s instructions. Many of these 

cleaners are toxic and can damage the stainless-

steel finish if not used properly. Also, check the 

tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill uncovered, 

you may need to remove the drip tray to drain the 

water from the tray.
