CAUTION
Grill Maintenance
- Allow grill to cool before cleaning. Frequency of cleaning is
determined by how often grill is used.
SPIDER ALERT!
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 burner.
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 burner tube obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner tube.
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
burner tube should be removed from the grill and cleaned before
use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
DO NOT
-use self-cleaning oven to clean any grill part.
Extreme heat would remove any chrome plating and cause
premature rusting.
- Meat drippings will solidify in bottom of grill after a few uses.
This residue should be removed regularly. Failure to do so
could cause overflow at bottom vent openings and increase
the chance of a grease fire.
- When cleaning grill, cover work area with newspaper.
Remove grill lid and cooking grate. Loosen residue with
scraper or putty knife. Wipe away loosened residue with
paper towels.
- Inside surface of grill may be cleaned with a strong solution
of detergent and water applied with a scrub brush. Cooking
grate may be cleaned with a wire brush. Thoroughly rinse
grill with water and allow to completely air-dry before using
again.
- Place cooking grate and lid onto grill.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gass.
2. Burner will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF GAS AT LP CYLINDER!
1. Wait for grill to cool.
2. Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tube.
