Maintenance Features:
- Burner Tube Inspection and Cleaning: Crucial to inspect and clean burner tubes before each use to prevent obstructions from spiders or insects, which can lead to "flash-back" fires.
- Gas Leak Testing: Requires regular leak testing of all gas connections, valves, fittings, and lines using a soapy water solution. This should be done after installation, service, and before each use, especially after refilling the LP tank.
- Exterior Cleaning: The stainless steel exterior should be wiped down with a stainless steel cleaner, scrubbing in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches. Baked-on foods can be removed with a fine-to-medium-grit, nonmetallic abrasive pad. The grill should be completely cool and dry before covering.
- Drip Tray Cleaning: The drip tray must be cleaned after each use with hot, soapy water to prevent grease fires.
- Flame Tamers, Grilling Racks, and Warming Rack Cleaning: These components should be cleaned after each cook by burning off food particles on HIGH heat for 10-15 minutes with the hood closed, then brushing away charred materials with a stainless steel bristle brush.
- Infrared Burner Cleaning: To maintain maximum performance, the infrared burner should be turned on HIGH for 5-7 minutes with the hood open after each use to burn away food particles. Once cool, any ash accumulation can be removed with a soft brush or vacuum.
- Hose Inspection: The gas supply hose should be visually inspected before each use for cracks, cuts, or excessive wear and replaced if necessary.
