starting your grill.

, Coating the cooking grids with spray-on cooking oil will keep the

food from sticking and make clean up easier.After cooking,
scrape the grates with a long handled, brass wire bristle brush.

, Check inside the grill bottom for grease build up and clean

often, especially after cooking fatty meat.

, Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and

smoke for paint. Apply a strong solution of detergent and water
or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and
bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a

caustic grillloven cleaner to painted surfaces.

• Plated wire grates: Wash grates with concentrated grill
cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and

store indoors between cookouts.

, Plastic parts: Washwith warm soapy water and wipe dry.

A Do not usecitrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.

• Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can bewiped away with baking soda/water solution or

specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring
powder for stubborn stains.

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft

nonabrasive cloth.
