CARE & CLEANING

APPLIANCE MUST BE COMPLETELY COOL WHEN
CLEANING. DO NOT SPRAY ANY CLEANER OR
LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN HOT.

The appliance must be cleaned as often as once a month
(depending on use) to prevent grease build-up and other
food deposits.

INTERIOR

THE BURNER PORTS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN TO
ENSURE PROPER IGNITION AND OPERATION.

Wipe with grain

Remove the burner (see orifi ce changing instructions)
and clean the ports and slots as required. Also inspect
and clean the burner inlet for insects and nests. A clogged
burner can lead to a fi re in the bottom of the appliance.

The inside of the appliance may be cleaned periodically
with oven cleaner if desired. Follow the oven cleaner
instructions for proper use.

Be careful not to get oven cleaner on the outside surface
of the appliance as it can permanently damage the fi nish.

EXTERIOR

Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures
produced by the grilling process will change color. The
stainless steel will change color from silver to brown
and blue. This can be removed by using stainless steel
cleaner.

Clean your appliance by fi rst using grill cleaner to remove
grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain (See Fig.
22-1). Next, use stainless steel cleaner to restore the
stainless steel color (Note: not for mirror fi nish). Finish
by wiping your appliance down using polish wipes. To

clean any mirror fi nish (if applicable), use a quality
brand glass cleaner only, not any of the cleaners
mentioned above.

If your appliance is installed in a seaside (salt air) or
poolside (chlorine) 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.

Fig. 22-1 - Wipe with grain

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE FROM THE
WEATHER

An optional cover will protect your appliance when not
in use. (Allow to cool before covering.)

Please specify the model number and serial number
of your appliance when ordering a cover.

IMPORTANT

IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, IMMEDIATELY
SHUT OFF THE MAIN GAS VALVE TO THE UNIT.
KEEP THE LID OPEN AND ALLOW THE FIRE TO
EXTINGUISH ITSELF. A THOROUGH INSPECTION

CHECKING AND CONVERTING GAS TYPE

This unit comes from the factory confi gured for one type of
gas, as marked on the label located behind the control panel,
or on the interior of the unit’s enclosure.

A certified kit is available from the manufacturer to
convert your appliance from natural gas to L.P. or vice
versa. Contact your dealer for ordering information. The
professional installer must reference the steps below
for conversion information. If the conversion kit ordered
includes instructions, follow those instructions.

1. Change brass gas orifi ces (included at original shipping)

on each burner to match the new gas type (see MODEL
SPECIFICATIONS TABLE, Table 1).

2. Switch the convertible gas regulator to match the new
gas type (see section below).

3. Plumb the unit as appropriate for the new gas supply.

4. Apply the label for the new gas (included at original shipping)

over the old gas information found on your unit.

WARNING
HAZARDOUS OVERHEATING WILL OCCUR
IF A NATURAL-GAS ORIFICE IS USED WITH
PROPANE GAS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THE
CORRECT ORIFICES ARE INSTALLED, OR IF AN
ORIFICE CHANGE IS NECESSARY, REFER TO
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: Make sure the unit is at a safe

temperature and isolated from
gas and electrical supplies before
beginning the tasks outlined below.

Note: The cooler the unit, the greater the

tolerances between the stainless­steel parts, and therefore the easier to
disassemble and reassemble parts of the
unit.

CAUTION: For your safety, exercise caution and

use adequate hand protection (such
as gloves) when handling potentially
sharp sheet-metal parts.

CHECKING AND CONVERTING THE REGULATOR

Regulator: note cap on top

STEP 1:

Unscrew and remove the cap from the
regulator, extracting the converter.

THIS APPLIANCE REGULATOR IS RATED FOR
PSI, AN ADDITIONAL REGULATOR MUST BE INSTALLED TO REDUCE THE INPUT PRESSURE TO THE UNIT to

PSI OR LESS. SEE GAS-SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS SECTION FOR PROPER GAS-SUPPLY PRESSURE.

Note: Each end of the plastic converter is engraved with either the letters “NAT”

or “L.P.” (propane) for the respective gasses. When the converter is in the
cap and the cap is held uppermost, the letters seen indicate the gas that

the regulator is set up for.

To convert the regulator from one gas to another, follow steps 1-4.

STEP 3:

Turn the converter around and
replace it carefully, into the
center of the cap (it will snap
