Cooking Grates

The best time to ‘burn-off’ the cooking grates is after every use (approx. 15 minutes). The grill is already hot from cooking thus requiring less fuel to obtain necessary temperature for ‘burn-off’.

To ‘burn off’ or heat clean your grill, turn the burners to highest position and run for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Then turn off the burners and use a wire brush to clean excess food residue from the grates.

The porcelain grates have an enamel finish (similar to glass) and should be handled with care not to chip.

CAUTION

Ensure the grill is cool before cleaning and conducting maintenance and with the gas supply turned off at the LP-Gas Cylinder.

Recommended Cleaning Supplies

Mild liquid dish soap, warm water, nylon cleaning pad, wire brush

DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or any abrasive substance.

Outside Surfaces

It is recommended to use only mild dish soap and hot water to clean grill and grill parts. Rinse with warm water.

Inside Bottom Pan of Grill Body

To avoid flare-ups, the bottom pan of the cooking box should be kept clean on a regular basis. Remove residue using a brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad. Wash with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse with warm water. Avoid water splashing into venturi tubes of burners.

Heat Tents

Clean residue with wire brush and wash with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse with warm water.

Grease Cup

Empty the grease cup and clean with mild dish soap and warm water on a regular basis.
