Cleaning and Maintenance
We suggest you wash your cooking grids in a mild soap
and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or
soft brush to clean your cooking grids.
Cleaning Heat diffusers
Periodically you should wash the heat diffusers in a
soap and warm water solution. Use a soft brush to
remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. The heat
oils
used
in
manufacturing
process
of
stainless
steel
can also cause this tanning color. Use a stainless
steel cleaner to polish stainless steel surfaces of
your grill. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers
because they will scratch and damage your grill.
Cleaning Burner Tubes and Burner Ports
diffusers should be dry before you reinstall them.
Cleaning Grease Tray
The grease tray should be emptied and wiped
down periodically and washed in a mild
detergent and warm water solution. A small
amount of sand or cat litter may be placed in
bottom of grease tray to absorb the grease.

Cleaning Exterior Surface
•We suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or
sponge for this process. Do not use abrasives or a
brush that might remove finish during the cleaning
process. WARNING
The location of the burner tube with respect to the

p
orifice is inside the burner tube before using the gas
grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve
orifice, lighting the burner may cause explosion
and/or fire.

Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire
outer surface of each burner until free of food residue
3. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a new
burner. After installation check to ensure that gas
valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of
the burner tubes.

2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.
WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest inside the burners of
the grill and disrupt gas flow. This very dangerous
condition could cause a fire behind the valve panel,
thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe for
operation. Inspect the grill at least twice a year.
