General Appliance Cleaning
Meat Thermometer: Do not immerse or soak in water. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe
dry.
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors are not
painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and
water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom. Rinse and
allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces. A black
surface improves the appliances performance.
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners,
degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can
result.
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain the high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent
and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. 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.
CAUTION
If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturi’s and
burners.
Spiders or small insects are know to create “flashback” problems by building nests and laying eggs in
the appliance venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind the
control panel. This flashback can damage your appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and
ensure good performance the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned
when ever the appliance has been idle for an extended period of time.
7. Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown E. We suggest three ways to clean the burner
tube. Use the one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run hook through
burner tube several times.
