Turning Off the Grill: Turn off the cylinder valve first, then turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
Preheating: Recommended to preheat for 5-10 minutes on HIGH with the lid closed to ensure proper grilling temperatures.
Controlling Flare-ups/Grease Fires: Trim excess fat, cook high-fat meats on Low or indirectly, ensure grill is level for proper grease drainage, and clean frequently. Do NOT use water on grease fires; use a type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher, dirt, sand, or baking soda.
Indirect Cooking: Cook food without direct heat source, searing on one side and slow cooking on the unlit side.

Side Burner Usage: Can be used for side dishes. Use a 10" diameter pot or smaller, centered over the burner, with no extended handle. Do not deep fry food in oil.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning Interior of Grill: Scrub grates with a wire bristle brush after cooking, then turn burners to HIGH for 5 minutes. After cooling, remove grates and heat tents, brush out ash and grease from the firebox, and clean the grease cup. Wash grates and heat tents with mild detergent periodically.
Cleaning Interior of Grill Lid: Clean smoke residue with a scrub brush and baking soda/water solution.
Maintaining Exterior of Grill: Keep clean and covered when not in use to prevent rust.
- Painted Surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
- Stainless Steel Surfaces: Wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water, wipe dry with a soft cloth. Use abrasive plastic cleaning pad for baked-on grease, always in the direction of the brushed finish. Car wax can help protect the finish.
- Porcelain Surfaces: Clean with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
- Plastic and Rubber Parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Avoid citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers, or concentrated grill cleaner.
Rust Prevention: Discoloration and rust can occur due to high temperatures, marinades, grease fires, and coastal climates. Rust spots can be buffed, cleaned, and lightly coated with vegetable oil. Do not use chlorine-containing cleaners or store pool supplies/chemicals in the cart.
Burner Cleaning and Maintenance:
- Keep appliance free of combustible materials and clear ventilation openings.
- Visually check burner flames for proper operation.
- Perform checks at least twice a year or after extended storage.
- Remove cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners. Use a narrow bottle brush or stiff wire to clean burner tubes and flame ports. Use a wire brush to clean the outer surface of the burner.
- Inspect burners for cracks, abnormal holes, or corrosion damage and replace if found.
- Ensure burner opening slides over the valve nozzle correctly.
