Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve •
the appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless
steel. The fact is stainless steel can corrode, rust
and discolor under certain conditions. Rust is caused
when regular steel par ticles in the atmosphere
become attached to the stainless steel surface. Steel
particles can also become attached to your gas grill
if you use steel wool or stiff wire brushes to clean
the gas grill instead of non-abrasive cloth, sponge
or nylon cleaning tools. In coastal areas rust pits
can develop on stainless steel surfaces that cannot
be fully removed. Bleach and other chlorine based
solutions used for household and pool cleaning can
also cause corrosion to stainless steel. Weathering,
extreme heat, smoke from cooking and machine
oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless
steel can cause stainless steel to turn tan in color.
Although there are many factors which can affect the
surface appearance of stainless steel, they do not
affect the integrity of the steel or the performance of
the gas grill.
Cleaning the Burner
Remove the 1. pizza stone from your gas grill.
Remove the burner by removing the "R" Pin from the 2.
rear of the burner.
Carefully lift the burner up and away from the gas 3.
valve orifice.
Check and clean burner/venturi tube for insects and 4.
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath
the gas grill.
Refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these three 5.
cleaning methods:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger into a
small hook as shown and run the hook through the burner
tube and inside the burner several times to remove debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle and
run the brush through the burner tube and inside the burner
several times to remove any debris.
METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air through the burner
tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstructions
through the burner and out the ports.
Cleaning the Pizza Stone
Turn off the oven and allow the pizza stone to 1.
cool down completely before cleaning it.
Use a plastic2. spatula to scrub off burnt food and
remaining cornmeal on the surface. Wash the
pizza stone with warm water. Never use soap
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance will keep your gas grill in top
operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these
cleaning procedures on a timely basis and your gas grill
will stay clean and operate with minimum effort.
Cleaning the Cooking Grid
Before initial use, and periodically, clean your cooking
grid with a wash cloth or vegetable brush. As needed,
remove the cooking grid from the gas grill and wash with
a mild soap and warm water solution, then rinse with
water.
Cleaning the Grease Receptacle
(1)Before initial use, and periodically, clean your grease
receptacle with a wash cloth or vegetable brush. As
needed, remove the grease receptacle from the gas grill
and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution, then
rinse with water.
(2)Note: it's important to remove cooking grid and
grease tray first, before taking the grease receptacle.
Cleaning of the Grill Interior
Burning-off excess food after every cookout will keep
it ready for use at anytime. However, after every use
you must give the entire gas grill a thorough cleaning to
minimize the risk of grease fires and keep the gas grill in
top shape. Follow these steps:
Turn the burner valve and gas cylinder to the full 1.
OFF position.
Remove and clean the cooking grid and burner2.
Cover the gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.3.
Brush the inside and bottom of the gas grill with 4.
a fiber pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild
soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly
and let dry.
Remove and clean grease receptacle.5.
Remove aluminum foil from Orifice and check 6.
Orifice for obstruction.
Replace the burner and check the spark electrode, 7.
adjusting as needed. The space between the
spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be
approximately 3/16”.
Replace the cooking grid, grease receptacle. 8.
Reconnect the gas source and observe the burner
flame for correct operation.
