Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
Caution:
All cleaning and
maintenance should be done
when the grill is
cool, with the fuel supply
turned off at the control dial
and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT
clean any grill part in a self-cleaning
oven. The extreme
heat
will damage the
finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15
minutes)
will keep excessive food residue from building up.
