CLEANING THE GRILL
Cleaning your cooking grates can be done very easily before you
begin grilling.
Before cooking, preheat the grill and keep the grill at a high
temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Then use a stainless steel bristle brush to remove any excess debris
left on the grates.
This is important because any residue left on the grate could cause
food to stick during future grilling.
Clean out your ash collector tray.

7
CARE AND CLEANING
Appliance must be completely cool when cleaning.
Do not spray any cleaner or liquids on the appliance when hot.
Empty the charcoal pan of all ash and drippings after each use.
Clean the grill with a water and mild soap solution.
Protecting your appliance from the weather.
A cover will protect your appliance when not in use.

CLEANING TIPS
Stainless steel surfaces will change color when exposed to
temperatures produced by grilling. The stainless steel will change
color from silver to brown and blue.
This can be removed by using Fire Magic Stainless Steel Cleaner.
CleanyourappliancebyrstusingFireMagicBarbecueandGrill
Cleaner to remove grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain to
maintain a scratch-free shine. Next, use the Fire Magic Stainless
Steel Cleaner to restore the stainless steel color. Finish by wiping
your appliance down using Fire Magic Polish Wipes.
Clean your appliance at least once a month. If your appliance is
installed in a seaside or poolside location, it will be more susceptible
to corrosion and must be maintained/cleaned more frequently.
Do not store chemicals such as chlorine or fertilizer near your
stainless steel appliance. Due to the nature of stainless steel,
surface iron oxide deposits may appear.
Do not be alarmed. These deposits are removable with stainless
steel cleaner through prompt and periodic maintenance. If not
attended to promptly, permanent pitting may occur. By following
these recommendations, you will enjoy the beauty and convenience
of your appliance for many years to come.

SAFETY
When using charcoal briquettes or wood chunks, form a pyramid
anddousewithlighteruid.Waituntiluidhassoakedinbefore
lighting.
Caplighteruidimmediatelyandkeepasafedistancefromgrill.
Neveraddlighteruidtocoalsthatarealreadyhotorwarm.
Neverusegasoline,kerosene,orotherhighlyvolatileuidsasa
starter. They can explode.
Donotaddmoreinstantlightbriquettesoncetherehasbeenlit.
Add only regular charcoal briquettes if more are needed.
Once the grill is lit, do not touch briquettes or wood chunks to see
if they are hot. Keep grill uncovered until ready to cook.
Keep vents open while cooking. Charcoal briquettes and wood
chunks need oxygen to burn.
Allow coals to burn out completely and let ashes cool at least 48
hours before disposing remaining debris.
Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping in heavy-duty aluminum foil
and placing in non-combustible container. Be sure no other com-
bustible materials are nearby.
If you must dispose of ashes before completely cooled, place them
in heavy duty foil and soak with water completely before disposing
in non-combustible container

SAFETY TIPS FOR USING THE GRILL
Trimexcessfatfrommeattoreduceareupsfromdrippings.
Always wait until the charcoal has completely burned down and
the grill is completely cool before removing and emptying the ash
collector tray.
Do not move grill during cooking or while the grill is hot.
To avoid burns and splatters while cooking and the grill is hot, use
long-handled utensils and oven mitts.
Do not use tongs or other utensils with metal handles or with
plastic handles that might melt from the heat.
Use heat-resistant oven mitts when working near hot coals and
when adjusting the charcoal tray handle, emptying the ash collector
tray or placing condiments and utensils on the side trays.
Once the grill has cooled, clean promptly. Do not leave the grill
unattendedwhilepreheatingorburningofoodresidue.Ifthe

COOKING/GRILLING TIPS
The best oils to use when grilling meats are high temperature oils
(i.e.,peanut,canola,saower,andcottonseedoils).
Coat your food, not the grates, with oil.
Keep grates clean. A clean grate is less likely to be sticky and will
last longer.
Before you start grilling, organize the food by cooking technique,
required cooking time, and grilling area required.
Saucescontainingsugarsandfatscancauseare-upsandburnyour
food. Apply these sauces only in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Marinadesandrubsenhancetheavoroffood.Adryruborliquid
marinade can be used prior to cooking.
Charcoal lighting and cooking results will vary, depending on the
number of briquettes and the brand and type of charcoal used.
Ageneralruleforcookingwithcharcoal:Aftertheamesdie
out, allow a light gray ash to form on the outside of the briquettes
before beginning to cook.
Youcancontroltheamountofheatandairowbyraisingand
lowering the charcoal bed with the turning mechanism/charcoal
tray handle.
