Cleaning the Grill
(;rill Grales: These are made from cast aluminum which have been anodized. This coating
will fade with use.
•The grates should be cleaned after each use. They can be cleaned with detergent and a
plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or washed in the dishwasher if burned on residue is first
removed.Forheavy soil, grates can besoaked inhot, soapy waterto whichacleanser, such
as household ammonia, has been added.
•Do not usemetal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended to clean
outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch the grates. Do not
clean in theself-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grates.
Grill-Rock,*:Theseare made from cast-iron which have been coated with porcelain enamel.
• The grill-rocks should be cleaned frequently or after any excessive build-up of grease. To
clean light soil,use detergent and a plastic scrubber,such as Tufty,or wash in the
dishwasher if burned on residue is first removed. For heavy soil, soak in hot, soapy water to
which a cleanser, such as household ammonia, has been added. Stubborn spots on
grill-rocks, such as burned on residue from sauces, can be scrubbed with a stiff bristle
brush.
• An oven cleaner, such as Easy-Off, can be used for burned on soil. Follow manufacturer's
directions; spray oncleaner and let soak overnight. Do not clean grill-rocks in the self-
cleaning oven.
Grill Element:Follow instructionson page 10for removing the grill element. The grill element
should never be immersed in water. Most soil will burn off during use. The terminal block may be
cleaned with soapy S.O.S. pad. Dry thoroughly before reinserting in the range.
Porcelain Drain Pan: This area, located under the grill-rocks, should be cleaned after each
heavy use of the grill.
• To remove light soil, clean area with soapy water or spray with cleansers such as 409 or
Grease Relief. For easier clean-up, soak paper towels in a household cleanser, lay in drain
pan, and soak for at least a half-hour or longer.
• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet, Bon Ami, a soft scrub cleanser or plastic
scrubber.
• To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven cleaner such as Easy-Off; let soak overnight,
wipe clean, rinse and dry.
GreaseCo_ltaln_r:This container collects grease and other liq-
uids created while grilling or using some of the accessories; or spill-
overs while using the conventional coil cartridge. Empty when grease is
noticeable through containerwindow.
•Check the containerperiodically toprevent grease from spilling
over. If this should happen,the grease will flow over the front of
the container thus alerting you to empty the container. The
container is made from polypropylene and can be washed in hot,
soapy water. A few tablespoons of dishwashing liquid and water
added to a clean container will make it easier to empty when full.
May be washed in dishwasher.
• A metal drain tube leads from the right porcelain drain pan to the
grease container.
