General Grill Cleaning
• Keep the outside of your grill looking new by cleaning it once a
month with warm soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner. If
you don’t have a grill cover, wipe off dust and grime before
starting your grill.
• Coating the cooking grids with spray-on cooking oil will keep the
food from sticking and make clean up easier.After cooking,
scrape the grates with a long handled, brass wire bristle brush.
• Check inside the grill bottom for grease build up and clean
often, especially after cooking fatty meat.
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Apply a strong solution of detergent and water
or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and
bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a
caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plated wire grates: Wash grates with concentrated grill
cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and
store indoors between cookouts.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
sDo not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the venturi’s.
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind
the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage
your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at
1-800-535-4555 (In Washington, DC [phone], 10:00 am-
4:00 pm EST).
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
•Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached
a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for
visual signs of doneness.
•Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
•Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach
160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°
F.All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
•NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
•When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
Storing Your Grill
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in well-
ventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LPtank is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage follow "Cleaning Burner
Assembly" instructions before starting grill.
