• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint.
Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted).
Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub
brush to insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do

not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

• Plastic side shelf: wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

▲ Do not use

▲▲

citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic side
shelf. Damage to and failure of shelf can result.

• Exterior Stainless Steel Parts: Soap detergent or dilute (1%) ammonia solution in
warm clear water is excellent for routine cleaning. Nonabrasive stainless or glass
cleaners can be used.

• Non-Stick Cooking Surface: Turn grill off before cleaning. While still warm, pour a
cup of water over cooking surfaces to loosen grease and food particles and to speed
cool down. Use supplied cleaning comb to scrape off excess grease and food
particles. Wipe cooking surface with a paper towel or sponge.

• Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or a

period of one month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in
burner tubes (especially during colder months). These nests can cause fires
in burner tubes or under grill.

• See following pages for specific instructions.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP tank.

2. Remove cooking grate.

3. Remove Regulator/Valve from grill.

4. Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Open clogged holes with a thin wire.

Examine holes. Due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become
enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner. Burner can be cleaned
either installed or removed.

5. If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightly with cooking oil. Wrap in protective cover to

keep insects out.

6. Replace cooking grate.

Cooking

Food Safety

• Food safety is an important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To

keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and

after handling raw meat and poultry.

Separate:Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contami

nation.Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer

to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a

meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and
cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.

• Poultry should reach 1800 F; breasts, 1700 F. Juices should run clear and flesh

should not be pink.

• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 1600 F, and be

brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal, lamb, steaks, roasts and chops
can be cooked to 1450 F. All cuts of pork should reach 1600 F.
