Cleaning the Side Shelf/Shelves
Just wipe with a damp cloth — your polyethylene
shelf will not absorb moisture, odors or bacteria. It
is also dishwasher safe in a normal or Energy Saver
drying mode.
Grease Fires
The recommendations in the Maintenance section,
Page 33, concerning cleaning your grill and in the
Normal Operation section, Page 20, concerning
preheating and postheating your grill are extremely
important for two reasons:
1. To keep your grill cooking at its best by keeping the
cooking surfaces and heat transmitting components
clean. Keeping your grill clean is the best way of
keeping your grill cooking properly.
2. For safety reasons. A dirty grill is susceptible to
grease fires.
Depending on the amount of cooking, the types of
food cooked, the amount of preheating and postheating
and the amount of cleaning performed on a grill, any
grill can be susceptible to a grease fire. A build up of
meat fats, cooking marinades, basting sauces, salts, etc.
can ignite and cause a severe grease fire.
If a grease fire were to occur on a Ducane grill, flames
would probably be seen under the control box, coming
out the match light holes and coming out the secondary
air holes in the bottom of the burner box. A severe grease
fire could lead to a burned hose or regulator which
would allow gas to feed the fire and, obviously,
make the fire worse.
Any type of fire requires that the grill components
(hose, regulators, LP tanks, etc.) involved be checked for
continued safe operation. If a leak is suspected, the gas
supply system (hose, manifold, tank, fittings, etc.) must
be leak tested, using a soapy water solution, to verify the
source of the leak. If no leak is found, then the problem
was a grease fire.
A grease fire can be severe enough to damage your
grill and/or cause property damage and/or cause bodily
harm. Ducane does not want this to happen and neither
do you. Follow our cleaning recommendations and
avoid a grease fire.
