Cleaning Your Grill
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.
Besides the high heat provided by 100% infrared energy emitted from
the “U”, it also makes clean-up a breeze. There is no grease trap to clean
on the Char-Broil
®
RED
®
- because there is no leftover grease!
Routine Care
Before and after each use it is advised that you burn off any excess
grease and food debris that has accumulated on your grates or in-
side your “U”. If your grill is equipped with the Auto-Clean™ feature
then refer to the information provided on page 6. For grills without
the Auto-Clean feature, turn the main burner grill knobs to the
Clean setting and close the lid of the grill. Leave it on for around 15 min-
utes and this should turn debris into ash. When preheating the grill leave
the lid closed and this should also help to clean the grill. Occasionally
you should remove the grates and burn-off the debris that builds up on
the edge of the “U” where the grates rest. If any water or moisture has
accumulated in the “U”, you can either remove the “U” and dump it out
or burn it off prior to cooking.
Porcelain Cast Iron Grates
The Porcelain Cast Iron Grates should be
cleaned regularly with a heavy-duty grill
brush, such as the Brush Hawg
®
or Mega
Brush Hawg
®
, available from your local Home
Depot store or online at www.charbroil.com.
You can also soak the grates in a mixture of
water and vinegar for a deep clean.
The “U” must also be cleaned regularly
Remove the “U” from the grill and brush or dump out ash or debris. A
soft brush or sponge can be used to clean it out. The “U” is coated with
special highly emissive porcelain. Do not bang it or brush with a hard
bristled brush to avoid cracking and damaging the surface. For a deep
clean you can use a sponge with soap and water to clean the inside of
the “U”.
Always coat the grates and “U” with a light coat of high heat cooking
oil after cleaning. This added layer of protection will ensure your RED
®
infrared grill will be ready for your next grilling experience.
