Remove the Burners:
After cooking, turn control knobs to “OFF” and let grill cool before attempting to clean your cooking
grates. Before rst use and periodically it is suggested that you wash the cooking grids in a mild
soap and warm water solution. You can use a washcloth or a vegetable brush to clean your cooking
grates.
• To maximize grill performance, clean the exterior of the burner with a abrasive scouring pad.
Remove stubborn scale with a metal scraper.
• Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may
break o and clog the port.
• Shake out any debris through the air shutter.
• Use a ashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen,
clean it with a paper clip or a pipe cleaner.
The drip tray should be cleaned after each use. After the grill is completely cool, remove the drip
tray by pulling it out until it comes free.
Clean it with hot soapy water or an oven-style cleaning product and re-install. When using an oven-
style cleaning product be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Many of these
cleaners are toxic and can damage the stainless steel nish if not used properly. Test on a non-
visible area of stainless steel before using on full area.
Also, check the tray after rain. If you’ve left the grill uncovered, you may need to remove the drip
tray to drain the water from the tray.
1. Remove the grill racks and briquette trays.
2. Unscrew the fasteners securing the burners to the tray.
3. Lift the burner up.
4. Then pull to the rear of the grill so the burner head comes o the brass orice at the front.
CAUTION
Do not allow excess grease or liquids to accumulate in the drip tray as they may create a re
hazard.
Never use the grill without the drip tray installed.
