Why Clean?

We've all heard the saying 'An ounce of prevention is worth a 
pound of cure'.  This is great advice when it comes to keeping 
your grill clean.

Routine Care

Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary,
as grill fires can occur when grease and
food debris collect in the bottom of the grill.
After each use, remove any remaining
food particles from the cooking grate and
inside of the grill using a grill brush.  Do
this after the grill has cooled down, yet is
still warm.  It is much easier to clean food
particles while warmth is still present, than
after the food particles have completely
cooled and hardened.  This grill is not
designed to be 'burned off' by closing the
lid and turning the burners on High for an
extended time.  The excessive heat
generated can cause leftover grease to
catch fire, and can cause permanent
damage to your grill.

General Cleaning

Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not 
use 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 
glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn 
stains.

Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive 
cleaner and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain 
conditions.  This can be caused by environmental conditions 
such as chlorine or salt water, or improper
cleaning tools such as wire or steel
wool. It can also discolor due to heat,
chemicals, or grease build-up.  To
maintain your grill's high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent
and warm water, or use a stainless
steel grill cleaner. 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.

GRILLING GUIDE – Cleaning Your Grill 

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.

Storing Your Grill

 Clean cooking grates.

 Store grill in dry location.

 When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well 

ventilated space and out of reach of children.

 Cover grill if stored outdoors.  Choose from a variety of grill 

covers offered by manufacturer.

 Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off, 

disconnected, and removed from grill.  Never store LP cylinder 
indoors.

 When removing grill from storage, follow the 'Cleaning the 

Burner Assembly' instructions in the Use and Care section of 
the Product Guide.

Critters

Spiders like to make their homes in the venturi tubes of grills.  
These must be inspected and cleaned regularly to ensure there 
are no blockages.  Refer to the Use and Care portion of this 
Product Guide for complete information.
